Surprise! It’s snowing in Downtown Seattle. Nothing sticking, but maybe upland or a place with a little less urban heat island? Anyway…

• Sine Die on a legislature that passed the millionaire tax, but probably unnecessary pain until it’s implemented. In general, a lot of good things, but also a lot of potential left on the table.
• WTF KIRO?
• I love every story about people using waste for good products.
• I’m not the hiker, and I don’t think any of the writers here are hunters, but man big money ruins everything.
• Wild that they’re still making preparations for the Iran game in the World Cup.

I have lived a fairly privileged life. But someone making $1 Million a year is so outside my daily experience. On top of that to complain about taxes on the million and first dollar and beyond? I mean, these captains of industry have to have their pet legislators pull an all nighter to try to stop a tax on dollar one-million and one that year. Just pathetic. If you’re making that money, the state has been very good to you. Show some goddam appreciation.

Anyway, this is my last post before the end of the session, so your last reminder to contact your legislator.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together this evening for drinks and discussion. Join us, if you can.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room starting about 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

I don’t know about you, but I got my ass kicked by the time change. Where do I go to get my hour back? Anyway…

• Did you attend the Women’s March?
• The legislative session ends this week and hopefully they have done enough to secure the state from President Trump.
• Also, landlords have to disclose flood risks to tenants. In practice, I’m sure it will be part of a long list of things in the agreement you sign to move in. Still, better than nothing.
• The Senate version of the mosquito fleet act has a lot of unnecessary provisions that I hope can be removed in the final version.
• Call or email your legislator.

Good morning lovelies and uggos.

• Oh, hey. Some real qualifications for sheriffs and police chiefs.
• It’s tough to read about organizations that do good treating their employees poorly.
• In general I think Mayor Wilson’s proposal to expand the number of tiny homes and shelters is good. But not sure that relying on volunteers is sustainable.
• Call your legislator right now. I don’t care that you’re on the bus: Make the straphangers next to you uncomfortable with your passion for the budget.

Good morrow ladies, gents, and all the lovely people who don’t slot well into the binary.

• Data center regulation is dead this session.
• Ban new ICE facilities and old ones. And despite members’ concerns, local jail.
• Yesler bike lanes that don’t randomly end forcing you into traffic? Yes please.
• Write your legislators. Or call them. The session is almost over, so you might as well do it now.

Swing by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally this evening. We’ll be watching a few elections around the U.S., engaging in discussions about politics, and having a drink.

Last nice day for a moment. Let’s enjoy it.

• Hunts Point mayor/ ICE landlord is a combination.
• Not sure what the minority party in Congress can do about a lawless President, but at least Representative Jayapal and Senator Murray are saying the right things and calling for a vote.
• The millionaire tax is still progressing.
• Write your legislators and members of Congress.

Good morning. Woo boy it really came down yesterday night, huh?

• I’m glad people are skipping the State of the Union.
