The Seattle City Council will take a second vote on a controversial aggressive-solicitation bill on Monday—a bill that the mayor vetoed last month—but bill sponsor Tim Burgess says, "The mayor's veto won't be overridden."

So, Mr. Burgess, why waste everyone's time with the second dog and pony show? Don't you have more pressing things like figuring out how to get Seattle taxpayers off the illegal hook for the tunnel cost overruns?

Are you hoping for re-election at all, at this point?
