Pete Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 “This is a cowardly betrayal of the needs of the working people,” Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, a leading proponent of the tax who voted against repeal, said to thunderous applause moments before the council completed its vote. But Councilwoman Lisa Herbold said she was reluctantly voting for repeal rather than drag the city through a protracted political fight she called “not winnable at this particular time.” LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawant ran unsuccessfully for the Washington House of Representatives before winning her seat on the Seattle City Council. Sawant was the first socialist to win a citywide election in Seattle since Anna Louise Strong was elected to the School Board in 1916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be interesting to listen in on that foolishness, I'm sure it would go something like this except way worse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
