Seattle City Council votes to override Mayor Durkan's budget veto
by Patrick Quinn, KOMO News reporter, and Alfred Charles, KOMONews.com Executive Producer Tuesday, September 22nd 2020

SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council voted 7-2 Tuesday evening to override a veto by Mayor Jenny Durkan of three budget bills that would have halted sharp cuts to the budget of the Seattle Police Department.

The council's vote capped several hours worth of public debate about the controversial measure, all of it carried out online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two council members who voted against overriding the veto were Alex Pedersen and Debora Juarez.

“When I look back in this moment in time, I want to be able to tell my daughter, who I’m currently holding in my arms, that I did the right thing, and that I voted on the right side of history,” said council President Lorena Gonzalez.

“In my mind, the choice is clear,” said Councilmember Tammy Morales, who began her comments by reading the names of all of the men and women killed by Seattle police officers over the last decade. “We owe our black and indigenous community members about 400 years of investments.”

As part of the amended budget proposed by the council, which has now been officially adopted, the spending plan calls for:
  • Cutting the police department staff by roughly 100 officers;
  • Eliminating the department's Navigation Team, which serves as an outreach effort to the homeless. The council voted 7-2 to override this budget bill, while voting 9-0 to override the other budget bills.
  • Trimming the salaries of SPD’s command staff.
The Council’s 2020 amended budget will strip the department of roughly $3 million, which equates to less than a 1 percent defunding of the department’s 2020 budget.

These suggested cuts will now fall on the Durkan Administration for implementation.

“Council, as a legislative branch of city government, can pass legislation and budgets,” Gonzalez said. “But we cannot force the mayor to spend or not spend as we have directed.”

Kelsey Nyland, a mayoral spokesperson, said they’re now looking into legal concerns of elements of the budget approved by the council, including implementing layoffs and potential salary cuts to the police department's top brass.

“Votes do have consequences," Nyland said in the statement. "Because of Council’s actions today, the Navigation team will be eliminated, severely restricting the City’s ability to move people out of homelessness and deal with encampments for the rest of this year. The City will move forward with layoffs for the City staff who are coordinating and helping individuals experiencing homelessness at encampments across the City.”

Nyland said it’s unclear if this override vote will impact Durkan's 2021 budget, which she is expected to submit to the council for consideration next week.

For those on the Council, today’s vote reflects an important step in reforming policing in Seattle.

“Everyone in our city deserves to feel safe in their community," Gonzalez said. "But the countless videos and names of black and brown lives lost here in Seattle and across the country has shown us that not everyone feels safe in their communities, and that in fact, not everyone in their community is safe."

The council on Aug. 10 voted 7-1 to approve the spending plan that will reduce funding to the police department by 14 percent for the remainder of this year. The budget approved by the council, however, was far below the 50 percent reduction that some members had lobbied for and community groups had demanded. But the vote led to a formal and informal efforts to recall some council members.

The council took up the vote one week after it returned from its summer recess.

There was talk yesterday of a budget compromise that would have rolled back the suggested cuts to the department. But the council was able to rebuff that plan when it had the votes needed to override the Durkan veto.



I know these fuckers have been saying those lines for months, but it still blows my mind that after all of the rioting that's been proving so far to be more harmful to the Democrats than it's worth, they still go through with enabling criminal activity while hiding behind the race card.

Christ.

Here’s the thing: the council members haven’t been directly affected. They just want to have a spot in the progressive utopia, and everything in the revolution will be worth it in the end. And if Seattle becomes 1970s New York or an enclave of CHAZs in different episodes, it’ll take a massive blow to the pride and ego of these guys before they do anything about it, especially if Trump is still in office...that or Antifa shows up to their house like what happened with Durkan.

Of course they haven't been affected. I'd be willing to bet these council members are doing the same shit the Minneapolis ones did and hire a bunch of police security funded by tax dollars to protect them. Fucking shameful shit.

Honestly I wanna see how a city restructures after dozens of small businesses were torched with no hope of rebuilding. It's not like you'd step up to replace them if you were an entrepreneur.

They announced yesterday or today that they were moving one of their production lines to South Carolina. I don't know about the whole company though.

I vaguely overheard a streamer say that these folks had said "all lives matter" and that's what their big "offense" was. Looked like it was about to get them killed. Kitty's commenters ID'ed the belligerent SOB as Dakota Means:

As you can see he was involved in the beating of the tranny on the night of Haner's beatdown. Now the other question is, was he involved in the Danielson assassination? You can also see Militantmom and BLMini are in the video above, so it's definitely the regular "security" cadre, or what's left of it that hasn't been jailed or shot.

He is facing federal charges already:


Dakota Kurtis Means, 20, a resident of Portland, has been charged by criminal information with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and intimidating a federal employee near the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse on August 24, 2020, announced U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams.

According to court documents and information shared in court, at approximately 5:30am on August 24, 2020, an employee was walking to work at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse when Means allegedly began following the employee, yelling obscenities. Means was carrying a black colored paintball rifle and yelled “it’s a paintball gun now, but it’s going to be an AR later,” seemingly referring to an AR-15 assault rifle. Means was arrested a short time later near the courthouse by U.S. Marshals Service deputies.

If anyone can stomach scrolling through over 1000 portraits of grimy trashbags with slutty ducklips or snapchat dog noses on them, all of whom went to the "school of hard knocks" and work at "the krusty krab," I bet you we can grab some more dox out of his friends list.

Man, it really is clown world when saying a phrase that respects all of humankind is a justified (in BLM's mind and no one else's) way to get an ass beating for "hate speech". That's not shocking anymore, and neither is it that that guy already has a long track record.

Edit: Also lol the first random friend I clicked on that guy's friend list (Robert Kleames) has under their bio "Fuck with me I dare you" and claims to be a Blood while looking like he can back up none of those.

Love the stereotype of the white coal burner with a stripper name and daddy issues that can be seen from fucking space.
The jokes write themselves. Almost like the part where she'll be a single mother with the baby daddy in federal (fuck me in the ass) prison.
