Homeless will flock in from all over fo' 'dat free stuffs!

So much for my prediction of a mayor veto. This paired down version is just as stupid. It's more about business environment uncertainty then the tax itself. Seattle Shitty Council going to Shitty Council.

She had to offer an alternative plan to keep her 4 no votes lined up just in case she couldn't get the extra vote to pass the lower tax. A veto without an alternative would've just meant the original $500 proposal passed with 6+ votes and was veto-proof.
