AIR HORN! Tim Burgess! Is leaving! The! City! Council!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A former cop and (supposedly) recovering/reformed conservative, Burgess gets a lot of credit (from backdoor virgins in sensible shoes) for being the “adult in the room” on our increasingly progressive council. But that is really just code for policy positions that hurt poor people and the kind of timid, incremental, old-school liberalism that has no place in a city as left-leaning as Seattle. So congratulations on your retirement, Tim. We can’t wait to replace you. And we especially can’t wait to replace you with Jon Grant.
