  They edited their post. Also, numbers don't mean anything without context. Why is that out of control spending?

    IMO increased spending that requires a state that has no income tax to add one.

      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.
      • fourmyle 6y ago
        The rate of budget increase increased dramatically without an increase in revenue.
        • dlp211 6y ago
          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.
