On this week’s show we corner Washington State Governor Jay Inslee at the Comet Tavern and ask him a few questions. (Like: Hey governor, why is it that Boeing can get an $8.7 billion tax break in a super-quick special session, but we can’t call a special session to get $3 billion for our unconstitutionally underfunded public schools?)
Then we come back from the bar and talk to Stranger food writer Angela Garbes about a recent online discussion she got into concerning restaurant racism—when it’s actually a thing, when it’s not, and why you might just get a fork sometimes instead of chopsticks.
After which Stranger art critic Jen Graves takes us through Paul Allen’s recent retreat from funding local arts organizations, and how it seems connected to Pivot, the new contemporary art and culture center he’s opening in South Lake Union.
Plus, as always, the music of the amazing Ahamefule J. Oluo!
