When McGinn was mayor he held an entire Youth and Families Initiative, which had 131 meetings with thousands of attendees, that helped shape the Families and Education Levy investments. Really not OK that Harrell and Burgess and Rivera won't do that for this levy, which is *far* larger in size.

This morning in Seattle, the Select Committee on the FEPP (education) Levy is meeting to discuss 12 amendments to the levy. No votes today, but several interesting proposals will be discussed. I just wrote about this levy and will include a link once I have one.

SPD officially condemning this behavior while tacitly encouraging it is a feature, not a bug. All members of the department's CRG unit share the same personality, and we see it at demos.
