They buried it in the Deep Bertha Tunnel

They are waiting for a review from Jimmy Hoffa.

I'm getting really goddamn tired of asking:
Where is the final report from the city's Gender Pay Equity Task Force?

and here's your:answer

also, every councilperson has multiple issues to deal with (well... with some exception around the Sawant/Phil-Locker nexus) so while gender pay equity is absolutely vital, isn't also the minimum wage, police oversight, transportation, schools, the taxi nightmare, the waterfront, pre-K, funding for everything, etc

or said in slightly different fashion: everyone thinks their issue should be of primary consideration!

@4 claims to be Jean Godden.

"Anna,
Thanks for your interest. The task force report, which I had hoped to have released earlier, is finally ready and will be released just as soon as a date can be found for presentation to the mayor. It's a good report, an ambitious one, and covers not only city government but steps to narrow the wage gap in the Seattle region.
In the meantime, my office has been working with the city personnel department, the office of Civil Rights and with various departments to begin the work. Already the City Attorney's office and the Parks Department have gone to work narrowing the gap. The City Attorney's office went from a 22 cent wage gap to 1.6 cents; the Parks Deparment's gap is near zero. This is amazing progress and I'm proud that we've made a good start.
Again thanks for asking. I would hate to see the wage gap forgotten in our emphasis on the minimum wage. While that matters to woment (who dominate low-paid jobs), it is more important that we/they get comparable wages.
Yours, the woman you know as a B.A.B."
