Is it Real This Time Or Just More BS?

 "Washington lawmakers voted nearly unanimously Friday to strengthen oversight of private special education schools that serve some of the state’s most vulnerable public school students."

Other People's Money It Never Runs Out For Seattle

 

The city wants to spend $165,000,000 (ya that’s $165 million) on another sports stadium in Seattle. This time it’s for replacing Memorial Stadium which is technically owned by the Seattle School District.  

Where will the money come from? You guessed it from your bank accounts!

When I was in high school we along with the rest of the Metro league played our football games in Memorial Stadium. In the 90s Seattle Public Schools went on a very expensive High school sports fields building spree which today including renovations and upgrades probably exceeds the $150 million they want from us to build another stadium.   The point of building stadium fields at each High school was to avoid having to juggle so many games over a week-end and fans having to drive across the city to fight over expensive parking with the crowds there for other city center events.

We already have invested so much money in all these high school stadium fields that spending another $165 million does not make sense for Seattle school district.  The district is basically broke and can barley meet its current financial obligations.

If various groups in Seattle want to build a new stadium then they should follow in the University of Washington’s footsteps and ask all those big buck donors to once again pony up and pay for a new sports stadium.

 

There’s a Giant Hole in WA State’s Assault Weapons Ban

 

 Update 7/19/23  https://seattleschoolscommunityforum.blogspot.com/2023/07/my-meeting-with-alliance-for-gun.html

- On April 25, 2023 the WA state governor signed House Bill 1240 into law. The law basically restricts or bans WA state citizens from future sale, manufacture and import of assault-style semi-automatic weapons. There is one very large issue with this law and that is the state has given one entity a waiver to the law. Aero Precision is a weapons manufacture located in Lacy WA that can still manufacture all types of banned weapons they just can’t sell them to Washingtonians.

This seems to go against the spirit of what the law intended to accomplish.  This loophole allows Aero_Precision to manufacture weapons and then sell them outside of Washington state where they might be used in various crimes including school shootings. Why would the Washington state governor allow these weapons of mass killings to be exported to other states? If these weapons are such a menace to society as he claims then wouldn’t it be prudent and justified to stop the manufacturing and export of these mass killing machines?

I’ve sent emails to most of the local Democrat state representatives for a clarification and so far none have responded.

Open Prostitution , Open Drug Dealing ,Theft and the Seattle Boiling Frog Effect

 

Seattle rapper killed in shooting along Aurora Avenue North ....They mean PIMP 

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/man-killed-in-north-seattle-shooting/ar-AA1flgZd

It was a bright sunny 2019 June afternoon when I picked up my daughter from her high school located just off of Aurora Ave. North.  As we made our way home we stopped at the red light on 125th and Aurora where a very young women crossed the street in the crosswalk. This isn't unusual except for the fact that she wasn't wearing any pants or underwear.  Fast forward to 2023 where the above mentioned situation is now considered not only normal but condoned by the city of Seattle administration.

Prostitution, drug dealing and open fencing of stolen merchandise is now prevalent all hours of the day and night from 85th all the way to 145th on Aurora. This activity impacts school children at Cascadia Elementary School, Broadview Thomson K-8 school and Ingram High School. 

This is an example of the Boiling Frog Effect where if you slowly turn up the illicit activity the people don't really notice. They just drive by in their cars as very young women are trafficked right in front of their faces. 

My efforts to stop the illicit activity has resulted in warnings that the traffickers will come after me to the police will arrest me for harassing the prostitutes . 

My calls and emails to our Mayor asking for a solution have went unanswered. Our Seattle School District should be working to stop these crimes from happening so close to our schools but the school board insist on taking no action. 

The Seattle Police responded ,    

"The Seattle City Council repealed the Prostitution Loitering ordinance a couple of years ago. The City also adopted the harm reduction model which identifies the workers as victims and discourages enforcement. The City has contracted with social service agencies to conduct outreach and assist the workers out of the situation.

The Police Department conducts stings to arrest the customers a couple of times per month but it has no impact on the workers. We are also attempting to identify the employers and take enforcement action but it is difficult as the workers had no incentive to turn them in.

 Thank you
