1. $100 million donation to Amazon.com, so it has a fighting chance finally to declare a profit. (The company's total net loss in 2000 is $866 million and climbing.)
2. $10 million fund to help small, independent businesses (like the 2-11 Billiard Club or the Rendezvous) stay in Belltown. Businesses must charge less than $4 for a drink to qualify for the rent subsidy.

4. $10 million severance fund for the 2,275 Seattle-area dot-commers and techies who got laid off in the last eight months.
5. $201 million to buy the Sonics back from Starbucks.
6. $15 million to house the homeless.
* The remaining $149 will be spent building the monorail.
