City A Waltz Closer to Becoming Chief
Posted by Cienna Madrid on Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 2:40 PM
John Diaz was confirmed to become Seattle's next (permanent) police chief by the Seattle City Council's public safety committee.
Via the Seattle TImes:
The vote virtually assures that the full nine-member council will approve his confirmation next week. The committee's three regular members — Chair Tim Burgess, Sally Bagshaw and Sally Clark — and alternate member Bruce Harrell voted in favor of confirmation, along with Councilmember Nick Licata, who attended the meeting and cast a vote.
If confirmed by the full council next Monday, Diaz will be the first permanent chief to ascend from the department's ranks in over 30 years. Somebody buy the man a lap dance! (That's legal, right?)

We can't afford a lap dance.
Heck, with the Billionaires Tunnel, we're going to have to lay off more police.
