Nickels is merely adequate, and his time in the sun was over long ago. He has the local politico machine locked up, but I thing the voting masses could care less about all the political chits he's owed. We deserve a better mayor.

I have nothing against the LEEDS revolution, but think we should examine all candidates for mayor with a very very fine toothed comb.

Preferably one not used to untangle puppy hair snarls.

You should be stoked that Seattle is leading in green building, and requiring strict regulations. Green building aren't a farce, they are pretty amazing when you know all the work that goes into it.

Because he *admits* he's a developer?

Nickels has put together a coalition of bike folks, enviros, labor, and developers. Usually big city mayors just hook up with the developers.

But here Hizzoner is smart and has this green-green($$$) alliance going. And by putting viaduct and roads things up to a vote, he's managed to be pro roads, but avoided the "he loves roads" rap that otherwise would be doom in Seattle.

Specific examples of bad business and bad development I get...but a general criticism of it seems counterproductive.
