Update - The council member, Cathy Moore, who proposed kneecapping our ethics code suddenly withdrew the bill earlier this week.
Avoid a likely raucous showdown in city hall next week.
It seems that the optics of deleting the conflict of interest parts of the ethics code is pretty unpopular.
So unpopular Bruce Harrell even threatened to veto it. It's likely Cathy Moore believed she couldn't get a veto proof majority so gave up.

As we said months ago when the city council voted for this dragnet spy network, there are now people whose entire day and life will be on these cameras.
Each of these near neighborhood-wide deployments cover critical services and in some cases enough essential services that a person might be on camera everytime they leave home for years on end.

Cathy Moore, the person who wrote amendment 3, explains she wants the camera network to cover her entire district.
Sara Nelson thinks that's a wonderful idea and wishes the camera network would go all the way to the Aurora bridge ✨
Kathy mentions the only thing stopping them is the budget and she plans to raid that to expand the spy network asap.
Amendment three passes.

Tammy Morales, the lone holdout voted in line with the voters to just enact I-137.
Meanwhile Cathy Moore and Dan Strauss were not present for the vote!
Notably Cathy Moore has abstained from many I-137 delay votes.
It's giving "friend who says they're totally going to jump off the bridge with you ... but doesn't" energy. ✨
Meanwhile council president Sara Nelson was remote and handed MC-ship over to Joy Hollingsworth.

Then at 2pm the main showdown will begin, knee capping social housing.
One of the interesting marketing/get-out-thr-vote problems with the council's move is it changes how I-137 will appear on ballots. If they had not tried to make a sabotaged alternative it would just say "I-137" instead it will reas "Proposition 2" or something similar which is just enough friction to confuse a lot of voters.

I dipped out of the city council meeting to watch the I-137 community forum, was pretty obvious how this was gonna play out.
The council has passed the SODA/SOAP bills which makes looking like a homeless person, a sex worker, or drug user in Seattle a reason a cop can stop you.
You can be banned from neighborhoods and fined $5k for existing in the wrong places.

Right, so where's that leave us, folks who want tax money to maybe help people?
Come on down to the Seattle City Council meeting, Sept 17th, 2024, 2pm! ✨
We're probably gonna be fining homeless people $5k for existing instead of building housing, city council should probably hear from you. 📢
This one seems important, mark your calendar👇🏿
