Dori: Dow Constantine wants you to (sort of) live like him on New Year’s Eve

I saw a rather remarkable tweet about New Year’s Eve over the weekend from King County Executive Dow Constantine.

🎉 🎉 There’s no better night to leave your car at home than New Year’s Eve—and with free fares you can ride @kcmetrobus and not have to worry about parking or a safe ride home. 🎉 🎉 pic.twitter.com/ffKfkmBUnl

That is really nice of Dow Constantine, to provide us with free King County Metro bus service on New Year’s Eve.

Of course, I know that we have to pay for three full-time King County Sheriff’s Office employees to drive Constantine everywhere — including when he goes drinking after hours, according to sources. I know that we spend about $400,000 on this per year. But at least we can ride the bus for free for one night a year.

Let me translate his message:

“If you’re not smart enough to scam taxpayers out of $400,000 a year to provide you with an elite ride anywhere and everywhere so you can drink — not just on New Year’s Eve, but 365 days a year — then you should just go ride the bus with all the rest of the unwashed masses.”

I do advise you, on New Year’s Eve, to be responsible and drive safely. This has been a Dori Monson PSA.
