Its almost as if the Mayor is afraid of firing someone who royally screws up.

Nicely done. It's a gorgeously produced document, but its main tangible achievement is PR. Take the mayor's photo front and center: lit by the glow of a setting sun, PCC organic earth tone collared shirt, warm smile. As for the ideas, I fear he may as well have printed out one of his word clouds.

@1: You mean to suggest that Mayor McGinn is a feckless failure of a leader who refuses to stand for anything that could be called definitive and instead stands for what he's against and what he thinks someone else might some day be able to do, if, that is, the matter has been appropriately discussed and watered-down to death? Sounds like a good Seattle liberal to me.

Rights are not Priveleges.

Citizens are not Serfs.

And the Cops should not work for the non-resident Billionaires and Millionaires, but for we who Live in Seattle

Period.

Dominic's analysis coincides with my vision of Hizzoner: "bush league."

I'm curious how allowing police to film political demonstrators without any indication of wrongdoing (page 4) is intended to improve the situation, and why McGinn thinks of his constituents as customers of our police officers (page 20).
