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

[fourmyle]

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

[dlp211]

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]

The rate of budget increase increased dramatically without an increase in revenue.

[dlp211]

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.
