Without funding it is all empty posturing.

Oh Good Grief I've missed you and your anonymous argumentation by character assassination. And I love this disqus function! Now I can click on your icon and see that your personal attacks are your stock in trade. If only you had the courage to out yourself, maybe you could get as good as you give.

In the meantime, perhaps it's been fixed by now. But I know a few people who got stuck in SODO traffic when Mariners games let out during the first couple weeks that light rail was running.

Three point line is enough distance to be able to react if they decide to proceed in a more threatening manner.

What are you talking about, all you have to do to keep people from coming on your property is post a 'No Trespassing' sign. Anyone comes up to ask for money, call the cops and get their ass arrested.

Aggressive panhandling, especially when one is vulnerable (has their back to you) and is handling money is very much a threat. It is not unreasonable to ask people to stay back 15 feet.

Yeah I thought train/link got ROW and priority so long as there wasn't another too close in front of it?

And anyway, where is there a stop light for link before you get to the Ranier Valley?

Wouldn't your time be better spent out begging for money to support your super duper in-depth socially-conscious coverage?

I've taken the train to and from many Mariners, Sounders and Seahawks games since it opened — never experienced getting “stuck” in SODO traffic, so as usual I have no idea what Trevor is talking about.

Comment on City Light Employees Plan to Unionize by nwbedbuilder

City Light employees are unionized, to the best of my limited knowledge. Can the title be changed to City Light Managers plan to unionize?

Well, I am pro-Union, but, I want to make very clear that the current economic condition in the City Hall demands some changes. The mayor is not going to pay the 50 million budget shortfall from his pocket to balance the book. We need to make smart choices. And if the answer is to cut the staff level then we should live with it. I fully sympathize those who may lose their jobs, but the fact of the matter is the mayor has no choice but to act.
