SEATTLE - Seattle City Councilman Nick Licata wants to know where and why money appropriated by the appropriations part of city government is being spent on promoting a poor performing employee.
According to the Seattle Times, Paul Jackson Jr. was promoted from transportation manager to street-maintainence director. Mr. Jackson was the manager in charge of the umployees and trucks that did not remove the snow from Seattle streets after last December's snow storm.
Council President Richard Conlin and Council member Sally Clark did not think how Mayor Greg Nickels spends tax money was any of their business.
Checks and balances? Not today, thanks.
Council member Jean Godden did not have enough information to comment either way.
Read the story in the Seattle Times.
Have a great day,

Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles: Will push for stadium bill in special session
SEATTLE - It appears we have somebody beyond Sonics fans that actually cares about KeyArena and Seattle Center. Sure, Seattle Center is in Jeanne Kohl-Welles' State Senatorial district.
But let's not act as if it were not the responsibility of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, and the Seattle City Council, you know, people running for re-election.
She is being public about her role and responsibility, how refreshing. Let's hope, for this city's sake, she makes this work in September.

What Color is your Anvil?
The intent of this thread is to define, and refine, the idea that we are not all given a parachute of any particular color, sometimes we are given an anvil.
Through the exploration of where a person is in their lives, careers, and are given the idea that introspection and discovering your "color" can help you in your future.
In the spirit of that, and the spirit of Wile E. Coyote, I ask: What is the color of your anvil?
