¶29
(concurring) — I reluctantly concur. While I share many of the concerns expressed in the dissent, I write separately to note that our decision today rests on this court’s long-standing interpretation of article I, section 12 of our state constitution. Given that garbage collection is a government function, the State and its subdivisions have considerable power to regulate it. Whether the city of Seattle’s ordinances or practices violate antitrust law is not before us.
Chambers, J.
