Better than Idaho!.
As far as Idaho is concerned, they got the megachurches, the potato farms, and white power; With that, who needs education spending.

Portland Voters Are Stoopid.
@58 as per the article on Seattle preschoolers
"Dentists offer a number of reasons so many preschoolers suffer from such extensive dental decay: endless snacking and juice or other sweet drinks at bedtime, parents who choose bottled water rather than fluoridated tap water for their children, and a lack of awareness that infants should, according to pediatric experts, visit a dentist by age 1 to be assessed for future cavity risk, even though they may have only a few teeth."
Bad diets and bottled water

McGinn and Harrell Garner Barbs, then Dual Endorsement from 37th LD.
@6, Steinbrueck is also anti-light rail. He thinks buses are the best (only?) way to go for mass transit.
@9, in other words, Steinbrueck could make it to the general election through a split of the urbanist vote between McGinn/Harrell/Murray, with McGinn coming out on top while Steinbrueck stakes out the Crown Hill/Phinney Ridge/Blue Ridge/Ravenna/Wedgewood/Maple Leaf NIMBY coalition?

McGinn Leads in New KING-5 Poll.
@2, Older lesser Seattle single homeowners want the Old Seattle back--No light rail, free parking spaces downtown, JP Patches and Captain Puget on TV, the Doghouse open for eating and Californians and New Yorkers going back to their hometowns.

In Which I Do Not Declare My Candidacy for Seattle City Council.
Goldy, I don't believe we have a progressive city, but rather a moderate city. Otherwise we would have made those necessary investments in human and physical infrastructure. We would have had Light Rail and or some other right of way public transportation a long time ago; and we would have already come to grips with problems of police accountability with dark skinned folk going on for decades instead of the feds doing it for us.
That being said, I'm sorry you're not running for the city council and helping to push the city in a progressive direction.
