Sara Nelson is speaking to the Belltown Community Council tonight.
This is the first time I've heard her suggest that the city should look at borrowing from the reserves of the Office of Housing in order to free up funds to plug budget holes.

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

Going to do a thread of all the neighborhood groups in Seattle trying to get the neighborhood center near them proposed in the draft One Seattle plan taken out.
