SEATTLE STADIUM OPPONENTS TO FOCUS ON ALLEN'S VOTING RECORD

5.29.1997

          Opponents of the new Seahawks stadium planned to charge
     that Paul Allen "has no business calling for a statewide
     ballot, because he hasn't voted for at least four years,"
     according to David Schaefer of the SEATTLE TIMES.  Chris Van
     Dyk of Citizens for More Important Things said that King
     County, WA, records show Allen registered to vote in May
     '93, but hasn't voted since then.  Among elections he missed
     were September '95 measures for a new ballpark and Kingdome
     upgrades.  Allen's spokesperson Susan Pierson: "[V]oting is
     only one measure of civic participation. ... Paul Allen does
     a lot of things for the community" (SEATTLE TIMES, 5/28).
