- Five years later, FBI still after Wales' killer
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  No one has been arrested in the slaying of Wales, who was shot in his Queen Anne home on Oct. 11, 2001. But the FBI has focused on an airline pilot who had been prosecuted by Wales in a fraud case.

- CEOs of non-profits say they bring in top dollar
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  Some of the Seattle ExDirs are making over $200,000. That's eyebrow raising. With average compensation of $114,000, the chief executives of Seattle-area non-profits are among the lowest paid in the nation, though most still bring in six-figure incomes. Nationally, charity leaders earn an average of $142,000 per year in salary and benefits, according to a compensation study released last week by Charity Navigator.

- Checking the 'reality' of I-933
  Posted by newscloud from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  The way our system works, title to the things that are owned by everyone sits with government as trustee of those resources for our collective benefit. That trustee is charged with managing and maintaining our interests. Translation: Ensuring we have clean breathable air, sufficient and clean water and wild populations that can support a healthy ecosystem. This is a task government cannot give away and a responsibility it may not shirk. Nothing here is new. That the sovereign owns the wildlife and the water is an ancient principle virtually unchanged since a system of law traveled here on the Mayflower.

- City hopes to dissuade suicidal jumpers
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  Seattle Times pierces the veil of America's secret suicides: Some bodies hit the water. Many don't, landing in the Adobe parking lot or in neighborhoods. A crew team witnessed a jump just 50 feet away. A falling body struck an SUV earlier this year while the driver was inside, heading home from work. The body struck the passenger side, above the door. The driver wasn't hurt.

- Idealog: Is the Yes on 933 campaign illegally fundraising for Initiative 933?
  Posted by Jeff from Idealog.US
  And finally, the yeson933.com domain name is registered to Property Fairness Coalition. So, why is the Property Fairness Coalition, the group properly registered with the PDC, raising money under the name Citizen Taxpayers' Association - an apparently unregistered group? and why does this unregistered entity have the same contact / mailing address as the Citizens' Alliance for Property Rights a third group? This just leads me to ask why? And who is behind this? And what is the agenda of the yes on 933 team?

Several lanes closed on Aurora bridge due to possible suicide attempt

Apparently, the man jumped or fell to his death a short time ago.

Local Buses overflow, squeezing riders and transit in King, Snohomish counties

I’ve defnitely seen the increase in ridership on my own commute—#2 bus from the Central District, heading downtown. At peak commuter hours, the bus is often overflowing. It’s rough for my situation, because I’m trying to connect with ferries to Bainbridge on a commute schedule that takes 1.5 hrs mininum, door-to-door. Full buses mean more frequent stops and more time spent at each stop as people struggle to reach the doors—resulting in schedule delays. I hope that more buses and/or more frequent buses, are in store for downtown commuter routes.

Nickels may be a community leading green mayor but he’s also a developer’s mayor and paul allen’s mayor and a do-little mayor on transit.

I was motivated to write to May Nickels in response to this. Here’s what I wrote to him:
"I do not believe $1115 in rent a month is "Affordable housing."

The fact that there are many well to do business people in Seattle should not put a shadow over the Childcare professionals, construction workers, educators, and Administrative Assistants who make less than 40K a year. If they had to pay $1115 a month it would most certainly be well over 30% of their income.

Are you trying to turn Seattle into an elitist community, or what?"

If you feel the same way, you should email important officials too.
