*except in the case where you read his questionnaires and you see he kinda does give City Council twin birds
What else hasn't he done as a city council-member? What about the Job Assistance legislation that his office spent the last year piecing together with the business community and major social justice groups? Is that nothing to the Stranger, who strongly supported that legislation?
Oh and giving poor kids a leg up with broadband internet and computers, through the Great Student Initiative to provide Seattle public school kids on free or reduced lunch access to the internet and computers. A plan that was so fantastic that Comcast expanded it nationwide. I guess that doesn't count, never mind that it helps people I know personally who live in Seattle and can't afford to bring their kids up-to-date with technology without it.
What about removing the transgendered exclusions in the City's insurance plan? I guess the transgendered community doesn't matter to you, just like the poor kids, people who have committed felonies, and you know, the every day Joe and Jane who have electricity bills.
HUGE deal.
...and 78% of voters.
There's a lot! Click through a few!
After all, transit justice is social justice.
@23 &24: these portraits are also available as tattoos!
People despise McGinn, for good reason. He's a lying asshole. It probably doesn't help him to fight a war on cars in a city where more than 80% of the people have cars.
Also, this "war on cars" rhetoric is just tiresome. Whether or not 80% of Seattle residents own a car is irrelevant. The important number to look at is how many people USE their cars daily - for commuting purposes or errands. That number is significantly lower (61% for the entire city) and lowers even more when you look at Seattle's denser neighborhoods. People want transit options in Seattle. McGinn doesn't want to take away people's cars. He wants to provide them with the option of not needing one.
PLEASE, people---cast your votes to ensure that whoever wins this race is an effective mayor who will STOP the coal trains and derail Big Coal's evil for-profit agenda!!
IBEW 46 is "key" for McGinn, but nor for Murray (with whom it is shared)?
Seattle Building and Trades Council is "key" for Harrell, but not for Murray (with whom it is shared)?
And no mention of Murray's endorsement by the WA Building and Construction Trades Council, or by the Plumbers/Pipefitters, or by the goddamn Teamsters for Christ's sake!
Get your act together.
Once again, the stranger shows part of its dislike for Steinbrueck by failing to mention he's the only viable candidate saying "lets rethink this arena thing". Harrell and McGinn are the leaders of the "lets give resident property taxes to Ballmer and Hansen so David Stern will smile at us again" club.

rather than distorted soundbite wisdom from the hacks at the stranger, you can get the story from the candidates themselves...
The prime sponsor, Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, also condemned the search provision in his own bill, after I asked him about it. He said Palmer is right that it’s probably unconstitutional.
“I have to admit that shouldn’t be in there,” Murray said.

You're citing an article called Mistake in Gun Bill. As in, a mistake was made during the initial bill drafting.
Seems to me like he doesn't want the police to search your home.
Job assistance legislation
Key vote to block pan handler legislation
Met with John William's marchers while everyone else was awol. Everyone else at that time was afraid of the SPD and wouldn't cross it.
This lists Steinbrueck as endorsed by the King County Democrats, but the KCD also endorsed Murray and Harrell (in other words--endorsed every major candidate who is not the incumbent).
Little-known fact: Best known for her role as Peter Pan, Martin is also the mother of actor Larry Hagman, who she gave birth to at the age of 18.
Is this a reference to her looks? If so, bad form, Stranger!

Actually, that was a bit snarky. I apologize. It is sometimes hard to tell if a Stranger writer is making a reference to something you never heard of, or just going random.
My question was an honest one, and I'm glad the answer was more straightforward goofiness than a mean-spirited jab.
you must be young....
Mary Martin was an actress best known for playing Peter Pan in theater and in movies/TV. This candidate is a namesake of that long dead actress. Larry Hagman, another dead actor, was in fact her son.

LOSER since 1997! and using the same lame signs
