good luck to those searching for jobs.

I think it is ironic that Sims has to go a-begging to the unions when he's sold the county to them for years. Anybody look at the contract for sheriff's deputies? Thanks for another dry fuck, Ron!

Just saying.

Maybe they could, oh I don't know, stop doing pot busts of medical marijuana clients?

And arrest some white collar criminals and make sure they actually PAY their FINES?

Ta da. Budget balanced, nobody fired.

You see you can't give one because you can't even get the jurisdiction straight. The pot busts you are referring to in a snide manner were executed by SPD in the City of Seattle, different government, different budget. You also conveniently leave out the fact that the County Sheriff's Office is taking an actual 12% reduction this year in its overall budget. Yes Sims did sign a big fact contract with the line deputies and their union but he did that after proposing the huge cut to the sheriff's office. Can't blame the Sheriff or anyone else for that contract, she wanted the power to negotiate it but Sims fought her on it to keep the power.

You say you want the budget of the courts and the jail to be cut too. Exactly how many judges would you cut and how many jail beds, since the jail actually makes money renting beds to the state and to cities, would you cut? How many courtrooms would you shut down? How many jail beds would you close? Can the inmates we don't have room for be kept at your house?

See Will when you actually think about the issues and study the facts, maybe your diarrhea of the mouth will dry up. I won't hold my breath

I drive for Metro- King County. Our Cola stands at a precident 3%. We haven't received a raise in years. We only increase our wages with the COLA, like most county employees.

I am cussed at everyday. Sometimes spat on, and even have a restraining order against an individual. My job can be gruesome.
Many times it is rewarding. Even on a packed 12- 50 people aren't driving a car every ten minutes during rush hour. Gasoline less spent= none. I bike to work, ten miles,to drive you in an electric trolley.

Ron Sims is cutting the county budget- lets try the Ride Free Area first. Whom does it cater to, and whom does it benefit? BTW, does the downtown Tacoma receive these subsidies?

As the recession/depression gathers force ... this is round one

Think what comes out and is not funded in the next two rounds ... going to be really bad in the county

Bankrupcy? Very possible ... receivership of some kind
