How about if the city just stops "fighting records requests and procedural challenges" and just runs an open, and honest City hall. If people want records, or if they don't want you to have closed door meetings, then just give the people what they want and stop spending their money fighting them. Duh!
At first it sounded like a good idea to me, but it is a slippery slope (no pun intended). If you allow one fairly large operation to exist in a public park, then where does it end? What if the next guy wants to build a go-cart track, or put up a Ferris wheel. We can't open the door to for-profit businesses in public parks without expecting a flood of proposals from other companies. I say leave the parks as parks, if the Zip line company wants to build a zip line, they can do it on private property .
I hope they sited the log carrier for an illegal load. The lady probably hit them because she couldn't see their brakes lights.
"A whopping 44 tons!" haha, you may want to recheck that number; it's probably more like 44,000 tons
If I ever leave my house, and you can't locate me, please do not come in and take pictures of all my crap and post them on the Internet it for the word to see. Not cool.
Your comment is dripping with irony.
Two words: Renter's Insurance. It only cost about $15 a month, but it is soooo worth the money. You can get it through your auto insurance provider.
Do you think his friends just stood there and did nothing? Most likely they tried like hell to find him. 12 feet is a lot deeper then you think; most people struggle just to touch the bottom, let alone swimming around down there in the dark trying to find something.
There are too many options for pvc, potable water pipe, it's either schedule 40, or schedule 40. It's called the Plumbing Code, cheap pipe is not an option.
Having a cop stomp on your head and spew racial epitaphs for $150K, that seems a bit cheap to me. I would have also insisted that the cop be fired as part of the deal. SPD has a terrible reputation because of guys like him, the only way to fix it is to get rid of them. You can't just pay off all of their victims with tax payers money. Ridiculous.
