An update on a previous post of mine.
As reported here, Garrett can't run for Seattle Mayor, because as a convicted felon, he has to have his voting rights restored - which hasn't happened - before he can register to vote, and you must be a registered voter to run for public office in Seattle.
This is the guy who assaulted then Mayor Paul Schell in the face with a bull horn in front of several witnesses, some of whom were high ranking police officials, and then flat out denied that he did it. Not only was it proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he in fact assaulted Schell, he was convicted of the assault, and because he has failed to do what is required to have his voting rights restored so he can register to vote, he can't run for any public office in Seattle.
We're not Washington, D.C., and won't be electing someone of the likes of Marion Barry. That is definitely a good thing.
