At the Climate Solutions breakfast on Monday, Mayor Ed Murray announced he is using city authority from halting Shell oil from docking its oil rigs at the port of Seattle’s Terminal 5, for now.
All that will happen is Shell will take their equipment somewhere else if it gets delayed too long and they will get what needs to be done, done.
Murray will use the power of the city to give Shell a chance for a “pause,” trying to see if the original permit allows for this. And they’ve decided well, maybe it doesn’t. Which seems to me like a giant political game being played.
The mayor’s been clueless a number of times as of late.
I felt sorry for the mayor, who was excited to be a part of May Day. He was trying to show solidarity with the movement, but he’s forgotten that he is now a part of “the man.” He is the elite ruling class now.
When he got up to give his speech during May Day, there are a number of things being yelled at him that I can’t repeat. He was stunned. He walked off the stage looking a little smaller and a little pained.
He was also stunned that there was violence in the City of Seattle on May Day.
