Interviewing county tax assessor candidates? How the fuck were we going to stay awake for that? So the SECB broke into Savage’s cocaine drawer before this one. And while cocaine is bad for you and no one should do it—except for Savage, who tells us he has a medical cocaine license—we’re sure glad we! Did the! Cocaine! Because thanks to our EYES WIDE AWAKE state we could see that the challenger in this race, John Wilson, is the cool dad we wish we had growing up, the kind of dad whose adult kids would stay off drugs and the SECB. His guilty pleasure is yelling at his HGTV, he came in wearing a striped shirt with spotted purple lining on the inside of the collar, and he’s seriously into iPads (like, so seriously into them that it seems that a dispute between him and current King County assessor, Lloyd Hara, over a goddamn iPad app is what caused Wilson to decide to run against his former-boss-turned-political-nemesis in the first place).
Wilson worked under Hara for years, so he knows how the tax assessor’s office works (which is great, because fuck if we do).
