Councilmen Constantine and Phillips are responding to this self-inflicted crisis of excess generosity with other people's money by hosting a Town Hall Meeting on "creating a green economy".
Now, a conference on economic development featuring investors, entrepreneurs and eager customers who are ready to create business but for unnecessary county red-tape is one thing. But this "new economy" which "will create enormous new opportunities" and "spur new investment" is driven by the animal spirits of "leaders from the labor, education, civil rights, and environmental communities".
It should be obvious that this will never amount to anything other than some elaborate performances for suckers and some elaborate cash payments to the various Patronage-American communities.
But we thank Constantine and Phillips for giving us a good chuckle. Cue the music.

The Democrats are perfectly happy with high energy prices. Don't expect any relief from them. It's funny how every Democrat from the top down to these two shmucks is pushing this phony false solution to the energy price problem.

Sorry my dear

There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns"

The county council have stated there is a $70M budget crises to have cuts in courts and law enforcement. Renton Reporter
I was surprised of the opinion of Judy Patterson about the county budget crisis on what happened to cause this budget crisis? Patterson and the county council continually are using initiatives that where passed by the people like initiative 747 for the problems with the county budget. Sims and the county council are not listening to the county residents when the people pass these initiatives including the downsizing of the county council from thirteen (13) to nine (9) and they continued spending like there is no tomorrow and are still doing it today. With all the annexations where unincorporated county properties are going into the cities, The county should have known there would be a loss of revenue to the county and the county has failed to adjust accordingly. The county should make the adjustments that are needed to balance a budget with the revenues being received. The public voted to downsize the county council now it's time for the county council to step up to the plate and downsize to seven (7) council members.
Whenever the County wants to build a park, repair levees, foot ferries service, funding human-services, provide basic services like courts, 911 and Medic one or anything that should be taken care of by the regular tax revenues. Its call a crisis so we have to have a special levy to fund the crisis or the county council just raises taxes.
But when the County wants to rename itself, change the logo, build a new executive building, Ron Sim's rails-to-trails on the east side, elections building, or house Sims at the top of the bank building, well, the money is always there to spend. No special levy needed.
The county council is trying to put the fear in the people and are in the process of putting together a tax package to the vote on in November to fix their need to spend. Let see how it plays out.

Here's a clue for you: If you don't like it... then don't read it. You can always go back to hanging out with your heroes at HA and Kos, instead of doing everything you can to defend Queen Chrissy's tribal corruption.
