Mayor Gridlock



Here is our mayor, who only this month was heralded by Rolling Stone magazine as an environmental trailblazer for his work to fight global warming. A couple of weeks ago, he made sure that there will be hundreds of thousands of stinking, polluting cars gridlocked on Seattle's freeways for years to come. The mayor and the rest of the City Council blundered their oversight of the monorail project, then scuttled the whole thing by bad mouthing it to the press and forcing the people to vote a FIFTH time for it. From now on and for ever, I will refer to him as mayor Gridlock.

I hope Mayor Gridlock loves his new legacy.

Yeah,
I hope he realizes that there are people in this city (me included) that are sick of the way the mass transit mess has been handed around like a hot potato. The buck stops where?
