Seattle head tax repeal, angry
Psst hey, councilmembers have public email addresses. Not that it apparently fucking matters when amazon can just throw money into paid signature gathering and disinformation.
I wrote to my councilmember anyway:
Seattle head tax repeal, angry
"Hi,
I'm a resident of District [redacted], and I am both shocked and dismayed by your decision to repeal the head tax.

"As a city councilmember, you are the one of the prime political powers in Seattle. Capitulation only shows weakness. If giant corporations wanted to fight against solutions to homelessness, then that's a fight I expected you to take on wholeheatedly.
It's a joke to call this city democratic when corporate funding for paid signature gatherers is enough to cause an immediate policy reversal.
