There is a stain on Seattle named Kshama Sawant who just announced she won’t be running for city council re-election.

That’s great but some of you in other parts of the country might start getting familar with her. She’s taking her Socialist crusade national.

Jfc I saw on the news where a Seattle city councilmember was challenging the notion that late fees incentivize people to pay for things (parking tickets, mortgage, rent, bills, you name it … even returning library books) on time.

Trag, (this post probably belongs in the local government thread by the way):

I wouldn’t necessarily subscribe to the idea that members of XYZ committee are better equipped to vet a bill covering XYZ topic than the members of a different committee. In my experience very few people in XYZ committee have close working knowledge of XYZ topic. They move very quickly (at least in WA) throughout their day talking about gun laws, then salmon population, then housing, then drugs, then whether or not to tack on $1 to the cost of each Mariners ticket for SoDo neighborhood improvements, to stem cell research, etc. it’s like speed dating from one issue to the next in rapid succession, and again, members of XYZ committee are not necessarily experts on XYZ topic.

Yeah but that’s what legislative services divisions are for dawg

*Bammer dislikes this response*
Spoiler: show
Because I don’t really know what it means

ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE SERVICES DIVISION

The mission of the Legislative Services Division (LSD) is to provide bill and amendment drafting, committee staffing, policy and legal research, reference and communications, information technology, and administrative support services to the House, Senate, and other divisions of the Legislative Branch and to support the mission of the Legislative Council.

Established in 1957 as the Montana Legislative Council, LSD was originally created by the Legislature as the first permanent legislative agency to provide information to legislators and the public and to study selected problems confronting the Legislature in the interims between biennial sessions.

Since then, the Legislature has added to the division’s duties and responsibilities in a variety of areas. The division is organized into five functional offices, each of which is nonpartisan and serves the entire Legislature. These are:

Financial Office
Human Resources Office
Legal Services Office
Office of Legislative Information Systems (OLIS)
Office of Research and Policy Analysis (ORPA)
Legislative Environmental Policy Office (LEPO)

NC spent billions on a rail system that was never built.

We just need to vote for the other political party, and when that party has total control of the government, then the corruption will stop.

Careful Burt, it’s a slippery slope to my sort of moderate political stance
