Weekend recap: Should Seattle drop its overdue book fees?
Bill Radke talks to our panel about the trademark fight over using the word 'cocky' in a romance novel title and the kickoff of pride month. We also ask, should the Seattle Public Library drop its overdue book fines for everyone? The library collected more than $1 million in overdue fees and fines in 2017. It currently offers a one-time amnesty, "Fresh Start" program for teens.
Our panelists are author Erik Hanberg, author and commissioner on the Metro Parks Board of Tacoma, Ruchika Tulshyan, author of "The Diversity Advantage," and Jeopardy dominator Ken Jennings, author of "Planet Funny."
