Last year was a much more innocent time for this City Hall reporter. I hadn't had to be so intimately familiar with the City’s Code of Ethics, I'd never heard Council Member Rob Saka passionately rant about the strength of the Finnish people, and Council Member Sara Nelson was just someone to roll your eyes at in meetings, not the one running the show. I cannot reasonably detail every goof, gaff, and grave decision the council made this year, but I can borrow the Rose, Thorn, and Bud framework to more neatly package all the shit that unfolded at City Hall in 2024.

A Smorgasbord of Bills to Follow Through Our Sacred Democratic Process

It’s finally here! The City Clerk has released a list of 20 “qualified applicants,” one of whom will fill the vacant seat left by former District 2 Council Member Tammy Morales. So far, it's unclear which, if any, of the applicants embody the c progressive spirit that voters endorsed with Morales at the end of 2023. Even if there was a suitable successor in the pool, it’s unlikely that the conservative majority would appoint someone who aligned with the member they allegedly bullied off the dais. Instead, they’re more likely to choose someone who aligns with their own interests and the corporate donors who propped them up.
