Voted against repeal of state ban on affirmative action

Late Sunday night the Legislature passed Initiative 1000, which effectively repealed Washington's 20-year ban on affirmative action in public employment, college admissions, and public contracting. Mullet said he'd probably personally vote for I-1000 if it were an initiative on the ballot, but ultimately, he said, he was going to vote against it on the floor in order to keep "a verbal promise" he made to opponents of the measure.
