For those who don't know, the Seattle city council has mismanaged 10's of millions of dollars already and things have only gotten worse.
More vagrants, more crime, more open drug use and public urination and defecation.
Even liberal Seattle citizens were getting sick of major funds going wasted.
7/9 counsel members are up for reelection next year and I doubt any of them will get reelected.
It's a beautiful thing.
“I am deeply troubled and disappointed by the political tactics utilized by a powerful faction of corporations that seem to prioritize corporations over people,” Gonzalez said in a statement. “It was my sound belief that a compromise on this policy had been reached with business, and as an elected official representing all of Seattle, I am deeply disappointed that certain members of the business community did not engage in good faith with the City of Seattle.”
I see that Kshama Sawant (Commie-Seattle) will not reverse her vote. I haven't found the other that will vote to keep the tax.
Interesting that Gonzalez, quoted above, may be a diaper red socialist, but she is voting to overturn the tax, in spite of her rhetoric.
