That may have worked before, but the rules of the game have changed. We can’t afford to take the high road in practice. In theory we would discuss the pros and cons thoroughly, doing what is best for everyone in terms of representation. When one political party threatens the entire system, the system is already broken.
Agreed. I imagine most Washingtonians may think the same.
Would Bob Ferguson even entertain this?

I think the point Publicola is trying to make here is - should we really be giving bonuses to someone who already makes $300k or more?
I imagine the article wouldn’t really be a headline if any random SPD worker had referred someone and gotten the bonus.

The city is turning into a giant residential neighborhood. Speed bumps everywhere, no turn on red signs, and now speed trap cameras. They really hate cars.

kinther@lemmy.worldOPto Seattle@lemmy.world•WA Democrats move to ban open, concealed carry of a firearm at 5,300+ locationsEnglish191·9 months agoWe already do not allow concealed carry in many places. I think it makes sense to not allow them in parks, public buildings, etc.
This coming from a firearm owner who has had a concealed carry permit in the past.

Saka shows up to meetings without being prepared and asks basic questions he could have spent time educating themselves on previously. Moore backtracks on what she presented as her platform when she was elected. It’s like watching a clown show.
Also wtf with the old people complaining about orcas?
