Does the city's new budget put its money where its mouth is?

On today's show:
Mayor Durkan, September 25th 2018

Reporter Panel on Seattle Budget, September 25th 2018
After hearing the mayor’s explanation of her budget, we asked three reporters who have been covering city affairs to tell us what changes we can expect to see. Vianna Davila covers homelessness for the Seattle Times; David Kroman is the city hall reporter at Crosscut, and Erica C Barnett writes at thecisforcrank.com.
Earl Thomas Goes on Strike, September 25th 2018
Earl Thomas is not practicing until further notice – or until the Seahawks put a ring on it. He’s still showing up for games though, and dominating the other team.

Michael-Shawn Dugar is Seahawks reporter at The Athletic and co-host of the Man 2 Man podcast, where he broke down Thomas’ job attendance decisions.
