I'm predicting roughly an hour of testimony, if not longer. Then will will have discussion before deliberation on the three bills the mayor vetoed. If these three are not sustained, we will then have a final vote on a compromise bill. More details here:

Today's tips are going towards my health ins, and A/D meds b/c it's still a thing in a pandemic.
Reminder that the vote on overriding the veto is currently not on the docket today, HOWEVER I am assuming most comments in the first 20 minutes will be related to the Mayor's veto of the amended 2020 budget.

And that is where we start today!

#SeattleProtests #SeaCouncil
And now we have an amendment to the introduction and referral calendar, for two bills not provided by 5pm last Friday. The first amendment 119878, is approval to enter a collective bargaining agreement between the City and the local machinists union.
