Seattle "ethics" board FINED Katie Wilson for getting childcare help from her parents. But it was cool for Bruce Harrell to use city resources to campaign & they won't investigate his brazen coordination with his $$$ PAC.

there is simply no other conclusion than that mayors must be rich
and THEN it's fine if they spend months of their terms flying first class to international junkets and use the mayor's office to campaign

Mayor Katie Wilson pays small fine for child care help during campaign
The modest fine was reflective of the fact that Wilson and her campaign fully cooperated as the ethics commission looked into an unprecedented issue.

I'm sorry but this is not a good design for 16th in White Center
Is it better? Sure, but I still will never ride my bike here with paint being my only protection and cars being encouraged to cut over the bike lane to park

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell was putting out at least a press release daily celebrating all the amazing things the mayor's office was doing right up until, let's see, November 3.

Mayor Bruce Harrell is announcing his new budget today. In the runup, he's been touting "the largest investment in city history" in affordable housing. That "historic investment"? A sub-inflationary $1 million increase in the entire Office of Housing budget, from $348 million to $349 million.

It sure seems like, at a minimum, MLS would be wise to suspend Suarez and Busquets through the Miami-Sounders game on the 16th. But honestly, Suarez should get banned for the rest of the season. He instigated the fight and then assaulted someone...and it's not like he hasn't pulled worse before...
The Leagues Cup Organizing Committee is still reviewing the melee after Inter Miami's loss to Seattle— including Luis Suarez spitting on a Sounders staffer.
That committee oversees only the Leagues Cup.
Will MLS add punishment on top? There is precedent

Pharmacists are licensed, and insurers are regulated, by the states. Blue states need to defy the FDA (and likely the CDC) and require pharmacists to administer COVID vaccines to all who want it, and require insurers to cover the costs.
Alternatively, free public vaccination clinics.
