About Nick Licata. It's as if he had not read the MOU or attended any of the council meetings.
It doesn't matter if Chris Hansen over paid for property. The city will buy the property at a price determined by an independant estimate, and not whatever Hansen paid for it.
And lastly, Nick set a high bar for somebody to jump over in order to partner with the city. Hansen exceeded that threshold and Nick voted no anyway.
Not a particularly honorable thing to do.
The Seattle Times chose to focus on the two "no" votes.
