"...Clinton's perverted escapades..."? Seems an extreme expression for the act involved and that it was consensual with a 25-year-old intern/groupie. I agree with TVD that we need to recognize that flawed people can still be great leaders. I guess I would prefer for that flaw to be a weakness for ...

I now have zero confidence in Seattle Public Schools and very little in City staff who often enable poor District decisions that ultimately result in millions in waste and excessive operating costs. The idiocy has altered me from an energetic supporter to a stick-in-the-mud detractor. We should not have to ...

Bah! to bringing party into this discussion. Yes, it is true that Dems likely emphasize caring for the less-advantaged. However, one could also argue that Republicans like BlueLight are not motivated to support a levy because they can afford private school. I cannot support this levy primarily because of the ...

The Department of Neighborhoods, before Nickels, served as a great conduit for support and resources to help improvements get realized. Residents understand best what works in their neighborhood and what needs improvement. The neighborhood plans developed in the 90's provided a blueprint to maintain continuity as volunteers got burned out ...

Sorry, the previous comment sounds like someone who does not use the train. The "if I don't use it, I don't want to pay for it" mentality spells doom for many things that most feel add to the quality of life for our region. Unless you never leave your home, ...

The burden to fear is not increasing the marginal income tax rate on the wealthy by a measly 4 percent, but the "tax" imposed on all good and services to pay for the insane income paid to the top 1%. What possible contribution offsets the tens of millions of dollars ...

It seems the bill was destined to move to the courts already. It only took one AG to do that. McKenna could have approached this calmly, but chose not to. Does not bode well as governor material. This is a doomed political move. I do not understand the constitutional difference ...

The biggest obstacle to a return to the neighborhood school as a center of community has been the School District's own Facilities department. Our Neighborhood Plan from 1998 described precisely the type of facility outlined in your article. Many of us worked very hard for over 15 years with the ...

Or is it sad that SOMEONE THINKS the incoming mayor needs a primer?

This exhibit is about the profit. Yes, the organizers say it is for "educational purposes", but they would not be doing it if they could not make gobs of money. To me, that seems sacrilegious. I also flash on the scary, creepy feeling of the scene in Planet of the ...

Interbay or Memorial Stadium or a City/Schools trade between the two, makes the most sense for a longterm solution for QA/Magnolia. One would have to question the wisdom of initiating busing students to Lincoln when the intent of the current Assignment plan revisions is to REDUCE busing! Besides, remember that ...

All that's needed now is a joint effort between the City and the School District to create a new high school in the new Interbay neighborhood now being developed between Queen Anne and Magnolia. This would finally repair the botch inflicted on those neighborhoods 20 years ago when QA High ...
