Thanks to suggestions here, I am making some progress in letting bureaucrats at the city know about our situation. The suggestion to contact the Freedom Foundation was great. They have been very helpful at making countless phone calls to city officials and sending tons of poignant e-mails along with asking direct questions like: Why? and on what grounds”. They also started a bunch of public document requests to try and get to the bottom of the city’s dysfunctional processes and motivations. I am scheduled for a video interview with them tomorrow as well.
I sent an e-mail to “Get Jesse” at King 5 – here is a link to it in our blog: http://www.blog.farmboat.org/?p=1510 – I am sure he receives a billion of these kinds of things each day. So if anyone knows him first hand, Please tell him about it.
The Seattle Municipal Court however is still convinced that their collection agents are right in going after us for whatever they can get. They probably justify their actions because they believe that the money would go to a good cause like buying more parking meters and traffic cameras.
In the meantime, the collection agency has filed new court actions against my wife and I presumably to try and garnish our own wages. Maybe they will blame one of you for being my employer because you posted on this blog?
That’s an interesting concept? I wonder if they can increase the city’s budget by cooking the books so that multiple people owe the same debt? If the original offender still owes, it, and I owe it, and then you owe it too, that would increase the receivables by 300% to help offset the cities debt to asset ration. Just a thought anyway.
