Typical council pandering to a small group of people who couldn't get their act together in time to oppose the bond issue (They didn't have the right cliches developed yet)

Here, as always, are my questions:

1) How much money will we have wasted if for some reason this project gets cancelled because of this stupid, stupid, stupid cause? (Consultant fees, architect fees, permitting fees, "public outreach" costs, the obligatory public art installation process, etc)

2) How many contracts have been issued that will have to be honored?

3) What will be the mechanism to return the money to the property owners who have paid into this?

4) How much will it cost, and how long will it take, to pay off the bonds that have already been sold?

5) Where will we put the youth that need to be "caged" if this falls through? The current facility or the King County Jail?

6) How much will it cost to bring either of those facilities up to code to house youth that need to be "caged"?

Some answers would be nice, but I suppose all we'll get are platitudes and, in about five years, another bond issue.

Violent youth offenders exist.

They really do! There are some of them existing right now, right here in Seattle.
