Since last year....I've followed almost daily....the ramblings and commentary of Seattle's socialist mayor....Katie Wilson.
I consider her to be rather 'gifted' intellectually....to the point where you would describe her as a idiot-servant.
How she was elected as mayor? I have this theory.
I think a majority of voters saw her as useless and lacking....but were drawn to vote her into office because they wanted chaos. These are voters who knew she'd fail to deliver, and likely open various 'exit-doors' for the well-to-do voters to leave the city and state.
These are 'agents' who want disorder and daily theatrical shows.
Wilson is set to be mayor (unless she quits or is taken out by the state mechanism)...until the fall of 2029.
My humble view is that the tax revenue folks will have a talk with her around the first of 2027, and note they are missing around 5-to-10 percent of normal collection. Whether she'll connect the dots or not....I think she'll just say 'move-on'...continue operations, and some financial officer will note that somewhere in the budget....at least five-percent has to be cut/gutted.
At that point, Wilson will tell the state to make up the difference...refusing to cut.
This will go back and forth....to the point that the state tells Wilson....that Seattle's damage crosses over into state-damage, and they are missing tax revenue as well. 'Sorry' will be the response....but the state can't cover the losses.
By mid-summer of 2027....Wilson probably will have public appearance issues....not wanting to talk about the mess.
