In Chicago if you do not remove the snow efficiently as a mayor or alderman

8. Seattle voted out the last competent Mayor we've had

because of a snowstorm. SDOT decided to use rubber-tipped plow blades to preserve the street surfaces.

Guess what? It didn't work well, at all, and the downtown streets were a sheet of packed snow with 4" deep potholes every 25'.

Not the mayor's fault, but voters are kneejerk. He also got blamed for the start of the homelessness crisis, as if that was his fault and not a national issue.

Who roused the rabble? Why, Seattle's own Rush Limbaugh: Dori Monson KIRO-FM and his ilk.

Greg Nickels. I'd like him back at this point.
