New Kirkland City Council Rules on Deck... but Inadequate
I don't know how many of you keep tabs on Kirkland City Hall. But in case you don't...
Well, Alex Tsimerman keeps coming down there and hurling hate at Deputy Mayor Neal Black. The City Council and Staff are working on comprehensive changes... that don't address Tsimerman. The same Tsimerman who used to use Kirkland's permissive environment to lob hatefests at Bellevue, Redmond, and others.
Now we have an opportunity to stop Tsimerman. One opportunity.
Seemingly the Kirkland City Council after being lobbied hard to use Redmond has decided to offer up... Bellevue. Which is good for the anti-Tsimerman coalition.
Why?
The Bellevue City Council’s latest procedures in Resolution 10544 has this:
>C. Rules for Public Participation
4. Public comment shall be limited to matters relating to City of Bellevue government. Public comment may not be used for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office, or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition except when the Council establishes a comment period for a ballot measure under RCW 42.17A.555(1).
At least Kirkland is considering exclusion policies for up to 180 days. But without the above, Tsimerman will just get to keep hurling his hate and slink away.
If you want Tsimerman's hate to be stopped: We need to call into Kirkland City Council Tuesday night as per instructions here and be politely clear: Proclaimations are one thing, actions are what counts. Amend the proposed Kirkland Council Rules please to add Bellevue's C4... thanks!
See: We don't need to have Alex Tsimerman speeding up to Kirkland in his black Mercedes and hurling antisemitic hate, mistruths, and more hate not just about Kirkland but also about Bellevue, Redmond, King County Housing Authority, Sound Transit, etcetera. We just don't.
Never again means never again. Got that? Now let's go fly-fight-win this one on Tuesday Night...
