Slog - Comments on Still No Nightclub License http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/still_no_nightclub_license So, it used to be that the council was the butt of every competency joke. Now it's the mayor. He vetoed his own nightlife legislation today. That's cool. That's what we've been recommending all along. Looks like the he's given up on the issue....

Or, in fact a well deserved Stanger endorsement in the General Election?

Give credit where due. She did the job here.

We gave Jean G. props in last week's issue:

I realize that this is a stretch for you as the alternative newspaper, but ETS! already has the "we hate jean godden" territory staked out.

So far we have the stranger and eat the state on one side, and steinbrueck, conlin, sims, wcv, kclc, etc, etc, etc on the other.

And Joe Szwaja? Really? Szwaja is an embarrassment to Greens everywhere.

Just something to consider.

I doubt will have to wait until next year before the next nightclub screwup.
At which point the nightclub lobby will say it is just an isolated incident (again)and propose a commission be appointed to do nothing to interfere with profits (again).

When murder, almost murder, slashing, name calling, broken bottles, and just general mayhem is happening in bar districts late at night - why do you think the Mayor does not no the public is unhappy?

The condo folks in Belltown say they are getting afraid in their own back yard. Older rich ladies, very powerful in any city.

And as a political proposition, the Mayor is supposed to cater to a handful of club owners to the very last drop/degree?

The Mayor and his advisers must ask often, where are the voters.

The veto only clears away the hurdles that appeared along the way, not surrender to them.

I'd be happy if he did forget about it, but Nickels has proven to be singular minded about getting his way with this issue.

I think you've got it. He vetoed to bring the issue BACK to the table, because the ordinance would have let it all die a quiet death. He's going to push this thing FOREVER.

I wouldn't want to be the Councilmember on the end of Jabba the Mayor's leash next time around.

Alternatively, the voters are concerned about their civil rights and the way the mayor's office violated them while attempting to get his wretched license proposal passed. Either way I agree with Gitai... The voters are certainly NOT gonna be good to Nickels when reelection time comes round. Hell, I will personally campaign against him.
