Would someone call the Councils a cab

Seattle politics really aren't that exciting. When I moved here 9 months ago there was a bizarre referendum on how to replace the Alaskan Viaduct (always sweet to have a road closed every six months to see if it's going to fall down). The winner, I'm not joking, was None of the Above. But the scandals are starting to get mildly interesting. The Mayor's son was arrested for being a dirty card dealer or something. And it seems like the various councils in the area are populated with frat boys and sorority girls:
  1. A King County councilwoman was arrested for DUI in June.
  2. A Seattle City councilwoman was arrested for DUI last week.
  3. Another Seattle City councilman was arrested for assaulting his wife, while drunk.
Of course, all of this falls under the category of "alleged" crimes. It's nothing compared to my Mayor 4 Life Marion Berry, but it's better than nothing.
