Goldy - you are either misinformed or misinforming.

$259M towards debt service comes from diverted tax revenues. check with the city budget office or council staff on this sleight of hand.
this $259M could go to all sorts of things that this city needs, instead it is a gift to arenaco to build their $490M stadium.

"the relatively fair deal offered by Hansen. "
eff you, Goldy.
taking $260M from city coffers to build this arena shows just how sleaze McGinn and Council are.
you're a pretty big promoter of this scam. as such you tarnish the tradition of the "Alt Weekly", ostensibly the anti-establishment voice.
with any luck those politicians that stuck their neck out for this misuse of public funds won't be in office much longer. but its unlikely that this paper will endorse someone who doesn't support this deal.

the stranger endorsement of mcginn is what probably won the election.
doorknob dumb hipsters took the cheatsheet and walked into the polling both not knowing more than what that said. I used to be the same way before i became engaged in seattle politics.
3500 votes was all it took, and that's probably what the stranger delivered.
zander is right. mcginn is an accidental mayor...

let's see... costs we are incurring for our "subway" are upwards of $500M per mile (it is $2B for the 4 miles from downtown to the U).
so we'll tax Seattle residents to pay for more of Schiendelman's Folly. that's quite a bit of licensing fees and property taxes we'll incur. would love to see the plan.
