this was bizarre to watch
Ryan PackerStrauss tried to abstain on that one but you aren't allowed to abstain on votes on council bills in full council, per the rules.

all week I've been thinking this and assuming that I'm just not savvy enough to understand the Very Good Reasons why not both.
Amy SundbergIt's really unfortunate when we pit two important programs against one another. I wish more politicians asked, why not both?

i cannot ask the CMs these questions to their faces this morning because I am at work earning minimum wage, but I did ask them these questions in an email last week 🫡
memilyto the CMs who might like to cut transit in the name of affordability i ask: if you made minimum wage, would you rather pay $29 per year to ensure your bus gets you to work on time, or $40 on a lyft every time it doesn’t show up?

memilyto the CMs who might like to cut transit service and/or increase spending on transit security i ask: have you considered that what makes someone feel safe and secure is *getting on a bus* instead of waiting in the dark and the rain for a bus that may or may not come in 20 minutes?

as someone living in seattle without a car and earning approximately 30% AMI, i will be happy to vote for this sales tax increase to fund and improve the transit services i rely on. the seattle times editorial board doesn't know jack about the affordability issues that impact me.
Robert CruickshankThe Seattle Times has long pushed an extreme anti-tax ideology and has long endorsed against transit measures. This is part of that trend. They don’t acknowledge that $58 a year for much better bus service, saving people time and money, is an *amazing* deal. Take it, Seattle!
I have been non-stop beaming all afternoon and evening. This was so much fun. I love the Market. I love Seattle. I love our beautiful community, and I love welcoming people who are new to this magical place. And we sold so, so many books!! 100000/10, let's do it again 💛
