From KCGOP,
Last week, the Seattle City Council confirmed Kathleen O’Toole as the city’s next police chief in an 8-1 vote with Socialist Councilmember Kshama Sawant voting NO. Sawant delivered a speech prior to casting her NO vote that—like so many of her speeches—lasted much longer than necessary and largely failed to explain her decision.
By all indications, Sawant’s problem with O’Toole stems from the future police chief’s “stated intention of running the department like an efficient business.” The prospect of the Seattle Police Department running like an efficient business doesn’t appear to sit well with the socialist councilmember. Businesses—according to Sawant—are not accountable to people.
Sawant,
“Ms. O’Toole has said that she would like to run SPD like a business. By that she means she wants SPD to be efficient and accountable. While I don’t doubt her sincerity at all, that is troubling to me, since private businesses and corporations are NOT accountable to working people, they are accountable to the profits of a few. Private businesses keep their affairs closed and secret. The opposite is needed for a public service, for policing in alliance with the communities, for accountability, for transparency…”
Interesting way to interpret O’Toole’s comments—which were meant, quite obviously, as an analogy of efficiency, not to be taken literally. However, the apparent misunderstanding does bring up a pressing question. We can’t help but wonder if Sawant’s “concern” for O’Toole’s appointment is really just another example of Sawanticrats/Democrats saying they want transparency and accountability for the people, except when it comes to rewarding their friends.
Currently, government officials appointed by Jay Inslee are conducting closed contract negotiations with union bosses from Washington’s state employee union, Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE). Despite the fact that such negotiations directly impact taxpayers, Washington State does not require state/local employment contract negotiations to be public—all members of the public, the media, and state lawmakers are not allowed access to the negotiations. Meanwhile, according to the Office of Fiscal Management, the taxpayers’ stake in the negotiations amounts to nearly $1 billion dollars in new costs.
Granted, Sawant is a local government leader. But, given her past willingness to express her opinion on subjects beyond the realm of city government, one question should be asked. Does Sawant’s—and Democrats’ for that matter—concern for openness extend to government negotiations with public sector (local and state) employee unions?
Stupid is as stupid does, and she apparently is a whole new kind of stupid, what kind of person would even vote for somebody like this??
The brain-dead liberal lemmings of Seattle, that’s who.
It’s unreal, what kind of platform do you run that let’s somebody like get in office? Nobody bothered to ask her any questions?? What about an oath of office or something?? If America is a 1, and the worst thing you could be is a 10, she’s an 11…
She was asked plenty of questions. You seem stupid, if you’re commenting, without any facts, jack.
Actually it was rhetorical question, the fact that you don’t recognize that makes me wonder about your intelligence…
I see you are using the tag Robin Hood, do you even really understand what he did? He took money back from a tyrannical government, he basically charged a “tax” for going through the forest from those that were wealthy by virtue of taking it from those that worked for living.
You seem to be on the “socialist” bandwagon, please give me just one example of all of those that have tried it, where one has ever flourished. It’s bad math, it never works.
Robin Hood is a charity which helps the poor, swing & a miss, miss…..
Looks like you’re GREAT as STOOPID !!!!
So, basically your intelligence stops at name calling? I would actually think more of you if had a response that was slightly intelligent, I have read some of your other posts now, they do seem to be devoid of that though…
So, basically, you’re wrong, call women names, & have nothing to contribute, except being a childish brute ???
Fact is, The Robin Hood Charity exists & we do great work, childish JERK !
Hmmm, so just a wild guess…. SSI your “other job” Santa? Bwwwhahha!
Guess how to ruin a business, no wood “man” !!!
HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH !!! Let a moron, like you attempt it, tea [email protected]
So, I’m not a 20s kid this week ??
LMAO !
What a loser…
If you’d like, I can give everyone here your address in Seattle, Pedo-Santa.
If you like, I can sue you for libel…… Ps- you’d look good working for me.
Guess what, you just FAILED to use words that make it an opinion & opened the door for civil action,

THANKS PAL, if you post another word, your family can find out what you cost them….
Ohhh, Im so scared. Public information you idiot, sue away.
Public info I’m a “pedo” (your claim) ?? You crossed the line, loser. If I ever lose a dime, YOU PAY IT !!!
Thanks, bud… When your nonsense comes to light, I get paid a premium to RELAX !!!!
Oh, I’m sure you’ll lose more than a dime. Pretty sure the Santa gig you do has a pretty limited employers list. And I’m very sure they would think twice about hiring you when they see the vile crap Pat M. Costello (AKA Pottymouth Santa) spews on social media. Oh, and dont bother deleting it Patty boy, I’ve already archived all your foul and weird rants. I’m sure the dudes in your little Santa club will appreciate the extra work….
Why Andy Wood, because you’re willing to libel folks ?? Pretty
amusing, you’ve become a stalker & are trying to damage a
professional reputation …
Get a life & job, because I want you to miss work, when I sue you !!
You called me a pedo, that calls for proof, putz ….
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA ! STALKER CREEP !!!
“…that let’s somebody like get in office?”
Fart Smeller ???
Still mowing lawns, Andy ??
Good for you, I’m always “impressed” when a “man” makes good use of your time….
LMAO !
The people spoke & your childish name calling IS A JOKE !!!
I see you for lack of a better word attacking Andy for mowing lawns, not that I know if he does or not, but I have seen you attack others also for the profession they have, if you don’t mind me asking, what do you do for living? (I’m an architect in case you wanted to know first).
I’m probably a Ninja warrior & I don’t mind moronic strangers asking me personal questions at all…
So, can I have your Bank account info ?
PS- Candy calls ranDUMBly calls folks gay, what I say to IT, is really none of your concern.
No, but that answers my question.
If you want to disclose personal info, you’ll find the folks who ask, intend to abuse it. Just like you, tea [email protected]
Which professions have I attacked, dear ???
LMAO ! T-Shirt “man” who does nothing, but name calling ? If you cannot stand the heat, perhaps YOU should set better behavior standards ???
His name is Pat M. Costello and oddly enough, doesn’t have a driver license even though he is in his late twenties. You should see his Facebook pics. A full grown man disturbingly obsessed with Santa. No women except for mommy. Not saying he’s gay….naw, yes I am! Obviously he is not “out” yet. Anyway, there is “Robin Hood”. I got bored with his nonstop drivel so I turned off notification, but I see he is still spending a good part of his days whining on Shift. Loser…
I gave up reading his drivel, he’s just a troll… his responses aren’t even that…
Wow, I just looked at his FB page, you’re right, I guess we now know why… 😉 Thanks for the info, it explains a lot… have a good one !!
You too bro. I can’t even bring myself to respond to his last comment. I think dear old Santa fell off the wagon….
You think ??
Something new Andy Can’t get Wood ???
LMAO !
Just spew nonsense & call me 20, like you did…..
Can’t help it if I mistook you for your homo grandson. You spew BS like a 20 year old, not the grampa you actually are.
You can’t help stupidity…. it’s genetic, in your case….
Just like your made up reality & “business” failures……. Poor Andy Can’t get Wood…More material for the suit.
The only “suit material” you need need is for your Santa costume, lard butt.
Why Andy Wood, because you’re willing to libel folks ?? Pretty

HAHAH AHAHAHA ! STALKER CREEP !!!
Hey pal,
If we’re “talking” pedophile, I understand why your gender challenged kid has a girl’s do…Give “daddy” a kiss, right ???
As for being wrong, it’s the second best thing you do, behind running a business outta business !!!
As for tea [email protected], it’s twit, but some sites won’t allow it….. Nice, to see your dirty
“mind”, religious “man”.
YOU of all people are calling me out for name calling? That’s funny you skinny, pasty, fudge-packing, jobless, whacko. There’s some name calling Twinkle toes…
YOU of all people are writing pedo ???
If we’re “talking” pedophile, I understand why your gender challenged kid has a girl’s do…Give “daddy” a kiss, right ???
Het woodless, we need someone to ruin a business, you in ???
Someone put a sock in that bitches mouth!
Someone should have put a “sock” in your mom’s mouth…instead.
Oh big bad commie your so witty, you need to STFU before you make yourself looking even stupider (as your commie President) would say!
“You’re” so STOOPID !! You need to GTFU !!! As your commie mommie always said, after she finished the “room”.
LMAO !
Throw her communist ass out of the country. No one needs her big mouthy butt here anyway.
Stupid is as stupid does, & your comment displayed it.
It’s the police department & I APPLAUD Sawant for her demand they represent the citizenry in an open, fair minded manner…
