Slog - Comments on Shit's In the PI http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/shits_in_the_pi_8 Our shit, to be precise. This morning's PI ran (off) with Josh's story about the Mayor's $5 million giveaway to Vulcan. Josh slogged the story last week, pointing out Deputy Mayor Tim Cies' flip flop, and Ceis refused to call us back for Josh's print version of the story, which we published early yesterday. On the upside, the PI was able to get our chicken-shit Deputy Mayor to answer questions about the Mayor's $5 million Christmas gift to local billionaire Paul Allen. On the downside, the PI swallowed for Ceis's bullshit about how the Vulcan deal is comparable to last...

One major limiting factor is the sheer lack of power substations and generating capacity, not to mention services - schools (zero), fire (zero) - all of which are borne by other citizens of Seattle.

What's top pay at the Stranger?

It's also boring and unattractive. Just do your fucking job and shut up about it.

PI says the Vulcan deal is comparable to existing downtown incentive zoning. That is accurate. Josh wants Vulcan to meet proposed guidelines which haven't yet been enacted. He's right that Vulcan is not meeting the proposed standards, but they do appear to be meeting existing ones.

The fact is , Dan, the PI story is more accurate than Josh's little tirade.

"That is accurate. Josh wants Vulcan to meet proposed guidelines which haven't yet been enacted."

Vulcan wants to meet building heights which haven't yet been enacted you fucking tard. (Yeah, I went to name calling.)

The fact of the matter is, the building heights weren't going to increase until the proposed incentive zoning was in place. So a just a lower case "fuck you, you disingenuous, vulcan-ass lapping idiot" @ #4.
