City Week in Review
Posted by Eli Sanders on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 9:40 AM
I'll be on KUOW's Weekday this morning to discuss mayoral candidate stylings, mediocrity in the Seattle public schools (hey, wait a minute, I'm a product of the Seattle public schools!), and the mind of Kalebu.
That's 94.9 FM, starting at 10 a.m.

Eli-I really appreciate your coverage of this case, but have a question that I originally posted in the comments to your article. You talk about the KC computer system being one of the many flaws that contributed to this situation. That's a fair observation, but is it just the KC computer system? For instance, would someone in Snohomish County have been able to instantly access reports from Pierce County? My sense is that none of the counties have easy access to other county's electronic records (to the extent that they could retrieve the full police report, etc). If that's the case, it's really going to require state-wide coordination.
It seems like a small issue, but if this is state-wide, perhaps all of the counties could unite in Olympia to ask for funding to correct the problem.

Ring ring! Local Peabody Awards calling. With Darcelle Jones still MIA, this year it's you. Do you want the engraving to read "Eli", "Elijah", "Elihu", or what?

Tell what's her name if she keeps interrupting people I'm gonna come down there and poke her in the eye.

Once again Joni Balter brings nothing to the table beyond a random swipe at Mike McGinn for riding a bike.

Funding?
The White House already announced they spent all the stimulus funds for the year for state bailouts already.
There ain't gonna be any more funding, especially with the White Elephant that the Billionaires Tunnel is, sucking up all the tax dollars.
