Seattle's city council just published its own proposed amendments to the 2026 city budget they adopted last year. The mayor already piled on $53 million in new spending the city can't really afford, but the council one-upped him, proposing $68 million in potential new spending.

We're on day 28 of the Republican shutdown.
Yet, House Republicans are STILL on vacation, even as 3 million Floridians, 3 million Texans, and millions more, in red and blue states, will lose their food assistance next week. It's time to come to the table and end this shutdown.

Just wanna highlight that Seattle Public Schools teacher salaries start at just over $60,000, less than half what a new Seattle police officer will make after six months under the new contract.
Cops get bonuses for two-year associate degrees; teachers, of course, have to have finished college.

Salaries were significantly higher last year, presumably because of inflation:

Wilson led successful campaigns to raise minimum wages in Tukwila, Burien, and unincorporated King County–those are the efforts for which Harrell gives all credit to elected officials. (In reality, Burien at least is STILL fighting against the minimum wage).

New Police Contract Includes Few Accountability Concessions In Exchange for Another Hefty Pay Increase
In theory, the new contract allows the CARE Team to respond to more call types. In practice, it says they can't go to homeless encampments, inside buildings, or places where someone is using drugs.

Banishment Orders and Mandatory Addiction Assessments Haven't Helped Drug Users, Court Records Show
The city now sends public drug users to jail and releases them after a brief assessment, dropping charges if they avoid arrest for 60 days. This costly approach appears to be ineffective.
