Public Talk vs Public Service in Seattle Mayoral Race
The Star contrasts two mayoral candidates in Seattle. One candidate, Dr. Brown, is described as talk heavy with little record of public service and ties to lobbyists and private business. The other, Dan Landon, is praised for 12 years as state senator with honesty, progressiveness, tax restraint, and public-welfare votes. The Star endorses Landon, asserting voters will know what they get.
