And the Council President Will Not Be…
Richard Conlin, who just withdrew his name from the running for the council presidency.
At today’s 2:00 meeting, Peter Steinbrueck will move to nominate Nick Licata, who has the support of Steinbrueck, Tom Rasmussen, Conlin, and, of course, himself. He’ll need to win Jan Drago’s vote to break the protracted 4-4 deadlock that has held the council presidency in limbo ever since Jim Compton resigned in December. (The other new candidate, Richard McIver, has the support of David Della, Jean Godden, and himself).
¡Viva Nick, el presidente del Consejo Municipal de Seattle!
