At 11:00 a.m. today, Mayor Mike McGinn will release more details of his 2013-14 budget, this time addressing funding for Seattle youth and public safety.

You can watch the action here:

This piles on yesterday's big budget reveal targeting poor families and the homeless:

· $500,000 in new funding for the City’s Child Care Assistance Program, which provides low-income families with vouchers to pay for 25-70 percent of childcare costs. (McGinn says the funds will cut the program's waiting list by 23 percent.)

· $980,000 to expand services to help homeless families with children find stable housing.

· $2.7 million to help Seattle's contract community service providers deal with inflation (related to their services).

And last week's announcement about studying—and building—high-capacity transit to Ballard within five years.

Lordy, McGinn's budget is like a peekaboo carbaret! Can't you hardly wait until next Monday, when McGinn finally stops his teasing, drops trou, and reveals the entire thing before a crowd of stunned, popcorn-chomping onlookers???

UPDATE: I have just received a tip from a reliable City Hall staffer that the mayor's 2013-2014 budget includes absolutely no funding for popcorn, or what I like to call spectacle corn. What—you think the people wouldn't notice, McGinn??? This is utter bullshit.

The people demand their city-sponsored spectacle corn!
