David Miller Running for Something Called "Position 8"

Miller is a Maple Leaf resident, and is--oh, it's all coming back to us now--declaring for city council member Richard McIver's old spot, since McIver is retiring. "Based upon input from hundreds of Seattle residents, David Miller’s campaign is focused on four priorities: Grow Responsibly, Strengthen Neighborhoods, Prioritize People, and Return to Basics." Strengthen neighborhoods? Jesus, can you imagine? If the neighborhoods were any neighborhoodier, we'd have armed raids between the duchies of Wallingford and Fremont, just like in pre-Risorgimento Italy. No, we're afraid on that basis alone we'll be voting for the candidate who runs on Irresponsible Growth, Deprioritizing People, and Striking Out Toward the Hideously Complex.
