The $18 Million Solution

If Mayor Greg Nickels can cut youth crime in half, as long as we give him $9 million, shouldn't we just give him $18 million and get rid of youth crime all together?

Aw, thanks Troy! You have had my back since soup.

And yes, Mayor Nickels is deeply deeply out of touch. Always has been, always will be.

Troy Morris

I was! Don't worry Abbey. I don't front that kind of attitude to people I know. Just the ones who I don't think I'll ever meet.

Sorry! I've had your back since Soup.

Abbey

oh, maybe he was and maybe I am feeling *far* too sensitive.

Katelyn

Wait, I thought Troy was talking to Mayor Nickels :/

Abbey

The post was in jest Troy.

Apologies for not addressing the topic as you see fit earlier, or today.

Troy Morris

Ugh. Just... how out of touch are you? You take months to address it and then you address this way?

Apparently, cutting youth crime involves handing out a lot of t-shirts with the program logo on them. At least, that is what I'm led to believe by the photo that ran with this story in yesterday's paper.

Perhaps at-risk youth are more easily swayed by messages printed onto low-cost apparel than the rest of us, but I somehow doubt it.
