It’s not hard to find someone in The Stranger offices who’ll
bad mouth Mayor Nickels. Especially after his attempted nightlife
smackdown. However, Nickels is helping Seattle take off its training
wheels. This week, Nickels released his budget proposalโ€”complete
with money for park rangers and more copsโ€”and it looks like the
mayor is pushing to make Seattle even more user friendly. We’d like to
take this opportunity to give Nickels a big, sloppy blowjob and a firm
handshakeโ€”even if his hands are a bit clammy.
