Confab

Confab #51, the first Confab of 2008, jumps directly into the fray of local issues. (We avoid discussing the presidential politics in favor of saving that discussion until after the primaries.) This show is all about transportation (the S.L.U.T., the Viaduct, buses, I-5, and the 520 bridge), the Washington State initiative process, weak governors, Laurelhurst's hiring of off-duty police to patrol the neighborhood, Shannon Harps' murder on Capitol Hill, and vagrancy vs. homelessness in the City. Rachele and Allie barely get a word in edgewise, as Brian, Gavin, Chris and Richard yap like their on Left, Right & Center.

This show was recorded during the January 10, 2008 Confab.

Our guests:

• Chris Bushnell
• Rachele Cawaring
• Brian Gaither
• Allie Gerlach
