Hey Sydney,

If you're going to handle PR for Durkan's office, you should apply to the City. You'll get paid better!

The city must be going broke. That doesnt bode well for police, EMT and fire departments.

Will she do the same with racial discrimination lawsuits, which prior to about a year ago were just as prevalent in Seattle? Somehow I doubt it.

"The City will be doing an extensive evaluation of our approach to workplace harassment..." Translation: A crew of white people will be assembled and paid handsomely to drink coffee and rub noses for a period of several months. After this undetermined period of time, when all of you have forgotten about all this, this crew of white people will announce that they just need more time and more money to finish solving this problem, because only they can.

Two weeks before the 'final report' is due the entire committee quits citing personal issues and artistic freedom. After all checks clear the bank, the report's findings are inconclusive.
