Way to go Jenny - you show 'em!

It's like watching someone dig their own grave, and not stopping when they reach the water table and they're already six feet under ...

This may help her with suburbanites and the ultra-rich, almost all of whom won't vote for her, but it means she's none and done with Seattle citizens.

The suburbs have their own mayors, @2.

@3 Apart from the bit where you seem to have missed the clause "almost all of whom won't voter for her," it's a fact that over 30% of Durkan's campaign donations came from outside the city of Seattle. And that's direct campaign donations, capped at $500.

Playing to the suburbs dosn't win votes directly, but it pays, and money buys the ads and campaign staffers that influence voters.

Thank you, Mayor Durkan. As even The Stranger was forced to recognize, your excellent use of veto power has already done some good: "What she failed to point out was that that compromise was born out of a mayoral veto."

She was being modest.

(Oh, and desperately pretending Mike "viaduct forever, block the SR-99 tunnel" McGinn still has some relevance to our politics is rather a large "tell." If he's the best -- or only -- person you can get on the record to criticize Mayor Durkan's veto, then you've made the case for supporting her action even more than your first praise of her, quoted above.)

Well look who's hit the floor and parted his moist tremblilng lips for Authority. Again.

@7: Actually, I'm celebrating a constitutional limit on our Council's authority. (Since my Council Member has now blatantly violated one of the major promises she made to get re-elected, I'm very happy to have her authority so limited.) As with Mayor Durkan's last veto, it may actually drive better legislation.

But hey, you can't let your feebly dim grasp of how our American democracy actually works get in the way of your feminizing (!), sex-negative (!!) attempt at an ad hominem insult, now can you?

Dino Rossi supporters getting on their knees for a mayor who told Trump to mind his own business.

Bravo Durkan. The tell is "follow the money" with Sawant. Progressive indeed she proclaims, yet democracy and justice must prevail for this born and raised Seattle citizen, as evidenced by the votes of the Council as a whole body representing all of the city of Seattle.

I look forward to voting for Durkan's removal from office.

@18 No, we just need to recall Durkin, but I'll back recalling Alex Pedersen if you insist on recalling someone from the council.

@18: Getting anyone to take your recall petition seriously would probably require you to spell the office-holder's name correctly. ;-)

(Oh, and Durkan didn't veto the entire budget, just most of it. She got us some more COVID-19 relief funds, as well: https://sccinsight.com/2020/08/21/mayor-vetoes-councils-2020-budget-changes-but-cuts-a-deal-on-covid-relief/)
