        Your comment has nothing to do with spending. So what makes the Seattle budget out of control? That was the original assertion that I took issue with.

            They increased about .5% inflation adjust per year from 2010-2020. That again does not mean that spending is out of control especially when you consider that 2010 was still in the depths of the great recession.
