Per Chris Daniels, Murray to make announcement at 5:30 related to the allegations

Murray denied the allegations, and said a medical exam has shown that his penis does not have a mole like the accuser said he did.

Really? (Was indisposed to follow this tonight). If you'd told be in Jan that a politician would call a news conference and discuss what his penis looks like I would have bet it was Trump rather than Ed Murray

Remember: Bill Clinton's penis curves slightly to the left. That's on court record.

In non-penis related news:

Republicans have chosen their candidate for the LD-45 special: Jinyoung Lee Englund.

Englund is a former staffer for Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and a major advocate of Bitcoins. In 2015, she made The Hill's "50 Most Beautiful" list. (Yes, The Hill is that trashy).

Englund has received Rossi's endorsement.

Well TBF she IS very pretty, I do have to say.

[KingSweden]

Really remarkable how much 45th has changed. Both top candidates are POC women.

I'll be moving from the 45th to the 1st soon, but if I remained in the 45th Dhingra would easily have my vote

[MAINEiac4434]

I think we need to see Ed Murray's penis just to make sure he's not lying.

[RI]

The fact were talking about Murray's penis probably means he's toast, right?

TBD. The loony left in Seattle probably can't beat him with Oliver (Sawant knows she commands far more influence from the Council than she would as an executive and will never run for Mayor) and if he became toxic the "establishment" would find somebody viable instead. I would imagine one of Petersen, Walkinshaw or Farrell become the choice. Two are LGBT, ones a woman and all are sufficiently progressive to win more mainline liberals as well as the lefties,, but not as out to lunch as the SAP or hard activist crowd

[KingSweden]

Please everyone email your representatives and senators today to ask them to vote NO on the knee jerk car tab bill. It isn't ST's fault voters couldn't be bothered to study the MVET calculator on their website. I agree that the jump in tabs was a bit steep but figuring out a better calculation deserves more study and debate than this crap going down in olympia right now

[KingSweden]

We should rename this thread either "The Saga of Ed Murray's Penis" or "Car Tabs are Literally Hitler"

[publicunofficial]

Apparently if Murray resigns the position would go to the most senior member of the City Council, who is Bruce Harrell.

I have no idea what the hell the Deputy Mayor position is for then.

[KingSweden]

No kidding. Maybe ribbon cutting

[kyc0705]

I really want to meet the politician whose career has currently peaked as Seattle's executive ribbon-cutter.

The WA Senate might flip to Democratic control in the Fall. A PPP poll of WA-45:

Dhingra (D) 46%
Rossi (R, inc.) 40%

Already covered it.

Also Rossi is just the placeholder. He's not running. And "Might flip" is looking like "will flip"

[heatcharger]

Ah, my bad. So do you know who's gonna take Rossi's place?

Englund is a decent recruit. Still think Dhingra has to be the favorite at this time

Interesting. Republican candidate in districts like this must be very moderate (on Litzow level, or even higher), at least on all social isuues, to simply have a reasonable chance... And even that (again - Litzow) may be not enough...

My understanding is Englund is right of Litzow

Then her chances are not good...

Mike McSchwinn just tweeted "Keep Seattle. McGinn 2017"

This may surprise many considering my fairly centrist views but I'd be very happy to see McGinn back in the Mayor's office. For as much of an abrasive weirdo as he is he had serious backbone on urbanism and the arena.

Agreed, he's got my support, perhaps. Let's see what he runs on.

[KingSweden]

Bit OT but does anyone know who draws Council districts for 2021 and onwards? IIRC the districts now used came with the initiative that switched to the district system. Have to imagine uneven growth patterns in Seattle will leave us a radically different map
