You can prove that if the local papers do not publish online until a day after the print version goes out. There are probably other ways of “proving” that, but i’ve provided the obvious one. 😀

A very brief review of taxes in the King County and State Of Washington show that the tax rates are going up more than 10%.

That means that according to Sawant’s logic, the State and Counties should pay people for three years of taxes.

Also, Sawant says that she was inspired by he customers:

It’s inspired, Sawant says, by the housing affordability crisis she sees everyday and the people who come up to her in the grocery store and share their horror stories. “This is a real situation that people are facing,” she says. “What we want to bring is a real sense of urgency. It’s not just one policy here or there, it needs a really serious framework.”

Cool beans. The moment something in her grocery store goes up more than 10% in a year, she should pay people for three months of their food bill.

Fair is fair, but I ain’t holding my breath for either “fair” outcome.

The good news is that since she insulted the police dept., the Seattle Times has de-emphasized her relevance. She may be out of office in 2019.
