THIS IS THE ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE TO HARM REDUCTION:
NO QUESTIONS ASKED UNLIMITED SUPPLY: Earlier this year, @weheartseattle ordered all these "harm reduction" supplies. Technically teens and kids in #Seattle can access all this stuff no questions asked.
ALWAYS ON THE MOVE: I love these One Seattle Day of Service events. You never know who you'll bump into. Finally tracked down Councilmember Andrew Lewis(@CMAndrewJLewis.) He's been dodging my questions about Olga Sagan(@OlgaSaganWA) of Piroshky Piroshky Bakery(@PiroshkyBakery)… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@CMAndrewJLewis@OlgaSaganWA@PiroshkyBakery VIABLE THREAT: Earlier this month, Sagan announced her run for city council. When I asked her about Lewis' performance so far she did not hold back, calling Lewis a career politician. #Seattle
HER TOP ISSUES FOR D7: Olga Sagan(@OlgaSaganWA) says she's still crafting her game plan. But it appears her priorities will include addressing homelessness, public safety, and advocating for mom and pop businesses trying to make it in #Seattle.

Questions were being raised about spending and salaries, especially… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@KingCoRHA REST OF THE LIST: Dones was stacking paper! These salaries put the pay in journalism to shame. No wonder so many reporters are exiting the business.
