This is shades of Paul Schell, vetoing his own noise ordinance back in 1999.

Anybody on council want to try this again? (crickets) Didn't think so.

Bad idea with blessedly bad execution. Go Sally!

Does this mean Jean Godden gets the political genius award?

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

Give credit where due. She did the job here.

@8,

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

Josh, I think Jakes's point was that considering that you've shafted Jean G. 3 times in the endorsement department, maybe you could acknowledge this time that she deserves to be reelected.

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.

Neat.

Wait till he joins Ron Sims in saying No on RTID/ST2.

Eat the State is still around - wow - that old Hippy thing.

Should get a make over - Lick the State.

Yeah, Joe Szwaja's chainsaw pumpkin carving sucked really, really hard at Oktoberfest this weekend. And for that reason alone I cannot vote for him. Ever.

Ha! Nickels is now impotent and will remain so for the rest of his term. Who's running against him next time?

Sounds like it is tabled for the time being.
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).

I am new to Seattle and very confused. 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.

do you guys think that Nickels is just going to forget about all of this? 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.

The mayor is fat and dumb. Just like my husband.

@19

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.

But in so doing, he's officially elevated nightclub licensing to the toxicity level of "circus animals" for the City Council.

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

@18 The voters are in the nightclubs having fun. 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.

The Mayor is never going to get my vote. He does not listen to me or my work colleagues.
