That's why we need the surface plan, it gets done years earlier and is cheaper!

The viaduct video just proves the stakeholder committee was right! The viaduct has to come down and the tunnel plan delays bringing the viaduct down for years! McGinn is right - get it down asap.

Too bad the mallahan folks rained fire down on Rob (he's the best candidate!), but an unintended result is that McGinn's tv ad has been watched by everyone who read this story.
Hmmm: Rob gets squeezed (can't imagine he's a happy camper right now), McGinn commerical gets watched over and over and Mallahan looks like a vindictive ass.
As doctor phil says: how's that workin' for ya?

@17 You guys are amazing. Call up the 37th and they'll tell you that Mallahan lit did NOT go out - they only provided a tiny bit. So, the Joe strategy is to take every failure and just lie about it?

Good job, Dominic.
Someone has to get the truth out. Lies told with spittle and red-faced conviction are turning into truth in this town.

There's a difference in misspeaking and misquoting!
The whole "racial agenda" comment is a great example. The press got the quote - two different journalists - and because it was so incendiary, confirmed with the campaign multiple times to make sure that was Joe's intent. Then, when it played badly, called the reporter out for 'misquoting'. Not once, but several times! Once in sakara's video, once at the 34th LD and once on publicola.
Hopefully, there's going to be a rash of audio coming out. What do you bet, every reporter in town won't talk to the guy now without an open mic?
Next one up is probably the whole Joe idea that kids join gangs because they are full of "self-hatred" and that joining a gang is "illogical." This is on tape (said it 3 times). Joining a gang is very logical if you are in their shoes - just too bad wealth and privilege prevent having a real understanding of the issue of public safety and youth/gang issues. And there's no "self-hatred" - these kids have plenty of self-worth and self-esteem, too - what they don't have is community, support, and options.

I can't find Mallahan's policy document - can you point me to it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

bikechick commented on Why Is Mike McGinn Afraid to Talk About Crime in Seattle?.
Oh for pity's sake.
"Joe's got rehearsed platitudes"
Duh.
Many from a thoroughly disproven white, affluent take on youth violence. Seriously, where the article about how Joe figures the reason kids join gangs is because they have "self-hatred". What about that racial agenda? No follow up on how Mallahan thinks that nickels did a piss-poor job because he followed a racial agenda instead of public safety?
Wonder what Joe had to promise SPOG and fire for their endorsement? call them up and ask and listen for what they don't say.
Better yet, get out in to the communities that are really affected by public safety policy and see what they think about the mayor's race.
And, pick up the phone and call McGinn and ask for policy briefs. Do the same for Mallahan. See what you get, past the rehearsed, paid for, talking points.

@9 - JB & CN:
Cut it out. Way off base.
Stay focused on the positive, pay attention to your strategery, and be gracious on the internets. Keep the ludes handy if you have to, but don't make shit up. Nasty isn't working.

bikechick commented on August Money Update.
So, let me get this right:
Moneybags Mallahan, who is the final arbiter in all things "efficienty and managey" can't even manage his checkbook for the primary.
Uh, and seems to have needed to toss in another 30K just to pay the monthly nut to his staffers.
McGinn, on the other hand, is running the epitome of a lean, efficient operation, with in house skill, not needing to outsource talent AND manages to mind the bottom line.
And, there's a choice between these two, why?
Bryan, do look into Joe's actual management experience, please. Titles, efficacy of projects that he owned, etc. Shoot, might even find out why Sue Nokes left. Mighty suspicious timing! Might even look at 'temperament', as the first debate clearly showed a guy who is accustomed to sarcasm and bossy gnarly bossiness, not building coalitions and alliances while being facutal and gracious.
Where's all those t-mobile staffers, mid-managers, and org charts (egads, a confirmable resume?) that confirm this meme of "i can smell efficiency from a mile away" and Joe is the best manager to hit the planet since Jack Welch?
