OLYMPIA -- Sen. Ken Jacobsen doesn't own a dog, but wants everyone else to be able to take theirs into a bar.
He also wants companies to pay for roomier airline seats when they fly employees long distances, and the state to designate Oct. 9 as Leif Erikson Day and name the Garry oak the state oak tree. Then there's his idea of a state poet laureate. Washington should have one and give the bard a firkin of beer.
For the most part, he's serious. All 99 bills he's introduced since the session opened in January -- more than any other lawmaker in the state Legislature -- serve a purpose, the Seattle Democrat said, even if most of them die.
"I'm into the theory of chaos. And in the theory of chaos, if this particle exists and this one comes into existence and this one doesn't know that one exists? It still affects the behavior of that one," he said, moving his hands around as if they were giant particles.
Of course, one of Senator Ken Jacobsen's 99 bills is for Personal Rapid Transit.
