I’ll email these to the Seattle mayoral candidates later today. I still haven’t figured out the calendar. I’ve put them here first in case y’all have any more suggestions or tweaks. I’ll update this post to reflect any changes if I make them before sending.
1) Now that I-502 has passed, what will the purchase of marijuana look like within city limits? Will medical marijuana collective garden storefronts in Seattle have to abide by the 1000-foot rule established by I-502?
2) With Metro’s ability to fund itself at the whim of the legislature, what should the city’s role be in public transportation? As mayor, how will you both make sure we get our fair share, and that the system serves the entire region well?
3) What should the waterfront look like after the Viaduct comes down? Will there be a streetcar or other transit?
4) What should happen in the next 4 years to make sure that police reform both satisfies the Feds, and works for Seattle citizens?
5) When there are police incidents, the response from the top is important. With hindsight, in the wake of John T. Williams being killed by a Seattle police officer what, if anything, should the mayor’s office have done differently what, if anything, did it do right?
Very interesting to see that there are no comments here when Carl has some legitimate and well thought out questions to the candidates. I guess there is either no interest in this, no knowledge about the Seattle mayoral candidates or no way to connect this to some stupid partisan rant or anti-republican comment by RR or the “Professor”…
But it’s very telling
