Life in "Progress" City

From the city of Seattle who hasn't had a republican mayor since passengers on the Titanic got a little too much ice with their martini's.............

The city should conduct a thorough environmental review before letting thousands of people watch fireworks from the partially remediated toxic waste site that is Gas Works Park, an environmental activist says.

A Lake City man has sued to stop Fourth of July events at the park at the north end of Lake Union until the state shows that gathering to watch fireworks there is safe for viewers, the park and surrounding wildlife.

Benjamin Schroeter, who is not an attorney, filed the suit, arguing that the city failed to conduct a review in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act before permitting the annual event.


Maybe the city can trade some of its carbon offsets to pull off the event.

What's so "progressive" about being a weenie?
