I guess I'm glad that I know this, but I have no idea where these places are
Seattle suburbs
Is there a link on an official government website for this? Anyone can create one of these Microsoft questionnaires so it’s important people know this is legitimate especially since this is just asking for personal information
You should consider posting this to washington@lemmy.world, seattle@lemmy.world, and redmondwa@lemmy.world as well. I'm sure there are people there that would being most interested in learning of this.
I don't know if it's state wide, but I know in Bremerton a law just went into effect that says ebikes or scooters than can do more than 20mph are now classified as motorcycles and therefore need plates and licensure
There was a city agency that did this in Columbus Ohio. SMART Columbus.
They used tax money to subsidize ebikes for low income folks.
Turns up low income people don't need an expensive bike that they have nowhere to store securely and they can't use to transport their families.
Those that got them, turned around and sold them as quickly as possible.
This was a very DUMB way for the city to take a lot of taxpayer money, hand it to a brain-dead organization, pay the employees to organize everything, waste a lot of time to give low-income folks less money than if they would have just handed it out.
SMART Columbus: turning a lot of money, into a little money.
