“We need a new mayor.com.”

Greg Nickels has more than worn out his welcome.

He’s wrested a lot of administrative power away from the City Council, only to use it for little more than developer giveaways and meaningless granstanding measures. He let the Sonics go with little more than a wave goodbye. He might have not predicted the December snows, but he sure didn’t seem to have a clue how to act when they got here. His interpretation of “roads and transit” seems to be becoming “ROADS, with a hint of transit flavoring.”

Hell, if nobody else will run against him, I will.

I’ve got no money and no experience in elective office. All I’ve got are ideas (some of which are good) and a sense of judgment (which sometimes proves wise).
