Yep, the article linked by the OP said only 3% of the stores would be affected by this new law.

Yeah, right, Seattle Commission clowns. Look for higher prices for the consumers from that 3%.

It's lying of the highest order. What these commissioner clowns said was that it "affects 3% of businesses" or something along those lines.

What those idiots deliberately left out was that it is the largest 3% of businesses in the city and those businesses probably comprise many multiples of that as a % of workers in Seattle (probably 25+%). What they include in that total denominator are things like bars, restaurants, dry cleaners, ice cream stores, etc., etc., not just major companies.
