Alright, it is now time for the thread #AceQuestions!
These are all questions I have about the Proposed 2021 Budget of the City of Seattle. I've read it and I have questions.
I'll go through the budget in the order that it's given *except* that I will do SDOT and then SPD last.

Ok, I'm threading out Session I from yesterday's Budget presentations now. If you have anything you'd like to give this evening, give it to a bail fund. People are still out protesting and getting arrested!

Thread 2: The Community aka Black Brilliance

9) and last but not least, my personal proposal for how to Defund SPD:
Quote Tweet
Alright, so what to do about the Seattle Police Budget.
Let's be very clear, the $359MM with minor details (if any) in the budget leaves little to grab on to in order to defund the police by $180MM.
But I have an idea.

Again, this should be all the info you need to make an informed decision outside of review the budget itself which can be found here: seattle.gov/city-budget-of
I'll be on at 2pm for full council, but not council briefing. Reminder the public hearing is this Tuesday at 5:30pm!
