[EX Q]: Comment: What is to stop the chief from selling native status to immigrants if the price is right?
[EX A]: Non-insult

[EX Q]: Comment: That the victim 'deserved' killing is not a viable argument in Oregon.

H. L Mencken's position regarding government officials does have some followers, though.

"I propose that it shall be no longer malum in se for a citizen to pummel, cowhide, kick, gouge, cut, wound, bruise, maim, burn, club, bastinado, flay, or even lynch a [government] jobholder, and that it shall be malum prohibitum only to the extent that the punishment exceeds the jobholder's deserts. The amount of this excess, if any, may be determined very conveniently by a petit jury, as other questions of guilt are now determined."

"If it decides that the jobholder deserves the punishment inflicted upon him, the citizen who inflicted it is acquitted with honor."

There are governmental job and office holders.....
[EX A]: Non-insult

[EX Q]: Comment: If this pool goes forward my neighborhood park property will remain undeveloped and unusable for another 7-10+ years while taxpayer $$ builds *regional* projects in Bellevue. It is a "want", not a "need". Don't fund it until CoB's fulfilled its current parks obligations.

Oh so glad City of Bellevue talked residents into turfing Newport Hills Park in 2011 so "we" could use it all year long. Now it's become just another regional sports field for rec teams, much like Robinswood Park, and neighborhood residents don't get to use it.

Where would we put a regional pool? Hmmm... hey, Councilmember Robinson once suggested building a SPLASH regional pool on my undeveloped park property! To heck with how it would devastate Newport Hills Swim & Tennis Club just a few blocks away. Remember, she's the same person who said Bellevue needs to "stay nimble" with its park properties (read: be able to sell them without public process/input). Keep an eye on your parks and City Hall- anything can happen.
[EX A]:
Non-insult
