Read the newspaper report, here.
See Mike McGinn's campaign stump speech here:
My reasons for voting for Mallahan left with him, but not my reasons for voting against McGinn.
To quote myself:
The knock I have on Mike McGinn is that he has promised all kinds of things, with many of them requiring cooperation from the state government. Asking for help keeping some of his promises while Mike McGinn battles the state for two years trying to stop the current plan to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct with a deep bore tunnel, sounds absurd. He has ideas, not really a plan. Much of his leadership experience appears to be pitting one group against another and fighting.
How would he be viewed at the state level, by the rest of the state? Is he the scruffy lawyer finding every hair to split in his battle with the State of Washington on one hand, while on the other claiming that the state will just fall in line to support his "surface" proposal. That is laughable.
Me, on 10/10/2009
It is up to me to stay engaged in the things that are important to me, even when opposed by Mike's way, or the highway attempts to run me over.
Word to the mayor, I have no fear.
Have a great day,
Mike Baker
