(give or take)…the real foundations for action on a permanent homeless directive could have been started… All this talk without substance is mind blowing. Too much red tape. Too many missed opportunities.

It should have been the only topic.

I saw them at Youngstown – outdoors – during Delridge Day a couple years ago and while breakdancing, heck, dancing in general is not something I frequently aspire to watch, I was riveted. Clip’s still out there on YouTube somewhere.

I can’t stand this guy. Wish he would get on his electric bike and assistedly pedal of town.

Not so fast!
These are all predictions that have currently swayed a bit toward the Mayor. We won’t know until after the day.

On the other hand we do now know that when Mayor McGinn insisted that the state would not step in and pay, he was wrong.

“The shortfall will be made up by steering more of the state’s share of federal gas-tax dollars into Highway 99. The state Department of Transportation (DOT) has been able to build some of its other federally funded road projects under budget and receive surplus federal aid that other states were unable to use on schedule, Dye said.”

Turns out he was right on the tunnel cost projections and tolls. The state just announced that the money flowing in from the tolls is going to be way less than what many naively believed. The Trust Us We Are Experts crowd always needs to be kept very close watch over. http://o.seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2017612886_tunneltolls28m.html

Note to man from city Office of Housing. It is okay to say, “I am sorry, we made a mistake when we looked at the census data from 2000 versus 2010 when reviewing the DESC project and thanks to citizens paying attention the error was caught and corrected.” It really isn’t that hard guy. Or maybe it is, because you aren’t. Sorry, that is.
