]]> ... ‘Taxes are going up’: Will Seattle voters approve $1.3 billion in taxes for education? /gee-and-ursula/harrell-education-levy-cost/4080272 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 12:05:27 +0000 /?p=4080272 Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is proposing a property tax increase to fund the new , which is part of his plan to renew Seattle鈥檚 education levy. It would hit Seattleites with $1.3 billion in property taxes over the next six years, double the previous ask.

Harrell’s proposal includes what he describes as transformative new investments to expand access to affordable childcare and early learning through the nationally recognized Seattle Preschool Program. It also makes mental health resources available in K-12 schools, while offering free tuition at Seattle colleges and job training to support career paths.

During a recent segment on 鈥The Gee and Ursula Show鈥 on 成人X站 Newsradio, Co-host Gee Scott voiced his support of the initiative. But Ursula Reutin expressed concern over the hefty price tag.

“It’s important, we all know, how much the city has put its role into education, primarily in education, and subsidized preschool programs and programs that provide tuition assistance for those going right from high school into maybe Community College,” Gee said.

Though Co-host Ursula Reutin agrees that education is important, she concerned with where the money is coming from.

“So, I don’t doubt the importance of the programs that are being served by this,” Ursula said. “My issue is just the number. We talk about it every single day. Taxes are going up.”

]]> Seattle mayor education levy... ‘Your boy don’t want a nude beach’: Denny Blaine Park plagued by flashers /gee-and-ursula/denny-blaine-park-flashers/4080183 Sun, 27 Apr 2025 12:03:36 +0000 /?p=4080183 Denny Blaine Park has long been favored among sunbathers and swimmers. Now, it has become a great source of controversy. It developed into a Seattle “nude beach,” and the park is now at the center of a legal battle over how the city manages public places.

A lawsuit has been filed by neighbors, claiming that officials refuse to address increasing concerns, including public masturbation, sex acts, and other indecent exposure. The spokesperson for these anonymous plaintiffs told 鈥The Gee and Ursula Show鈥 on 成人X站 Newsradio that there have been numerous documented incidents over the last few years.

“When it comes to public urination, masturbation, sex in public, explicit drug use, or people just acting crazy, we’re the ones to step in and do something,” spokesperson Lee Keller explained.

Gee sympathized with Keller, agreeing that having people engage in such behavior near his house would make him uncomfortable, too.

Gee and Ursula: Until stricter gun laws are implemented, ‘don’t expect anything to change’ /kiro-opinion/stricter-gun-laws/4078769 Tue, 22 Apr 2025 18:49:40 +0000 /?p=4078769 Students at Seattle’s Garfield High School are once again mourning the shooting death of a classmate. During a recent segment on “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio, co-host Ursula Reutin emphasized the need for stricter gun laws.

“Until we get serious about addressing gun violence, don’t expect anything to change anytime soon,” Ursula said.

On Monday, a vigil was held to celebrate and mourn the life of 18-year-old Garfield High School senior Salvador 鈥淛unior鈥 Granillo.聽

Granillo was allegedly shot and killed while attending a party in Yakima in the 1500 block of South Keys Road. Detectives with the Yakima County Sheriff鈥檚 Office were informed about a gunshot victim at MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday. Granillo died at the hospital.

Gun violence persists amid teen shootings

“My takeaways: don’t go to house parties if you’re a teen, because there’s a good chance there are other teens who are armed,” Ursula said. “And if you are at one of those parties, don’t get into an argument, because there’s a good chance someone’s going to pull a gun as a way to resolve that argument.”

Gee Scott, co-host of “Gee and Ursula,” pointed out that, under the current laws in King County, juveniles would need to be convicted of using a gun more than five times before they can be sentenced to more than 30 days in a detention facility.

“In King County, we still have on the books right now that if you’re a juvenile and you’re convicted for gun possession, you have up to five times before a conviction,” Gee said.

Even though Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” is suspicious about the officer’s motivation in attending the rally, she understands why they wouldn’t want their names published.

“I understand their point, what is it going to do to release their names? Other than to potentially have people say, ‘these officers are terrible because they attended this rally,'” Ursula said.

Four officers who were in Washington, D.C., on the day of the Capitol insurrection argued that they are protected by Washington state鈥檚 public records law. They maintained they did nothing wrong and claimed that disclosing their names would violate their right to privacy.

成人X站 Newsradio contributor Angela Poe Russell pushed back, claiming that if you choose to attend a public event, you can have public photos taken and your identity can be easily revealed.

“If you attend a public event where anyone, any reasonable person in the area, can see you, I just don’t know that legally you have a right to privacy,” Poe Russell said.

Cleaning up Seattle: Ex-graffiti artist uses his knowledge to fight tagging /kiro-opinion/seattle-graffiti-tagging/4077483 Sun, 20 Apr 2025 12:01:52 +0000 /?p=4077483 A notorious graffiti tagger in Seattle, known for spray-painting the word “eager” thousands of times on both public and private property in Seattle, is making amends for his past transgressions by becoming part of the solution鈥攃leaning up graffiti.

Prosecutors estimated that Casey Cain, the man behind the “eager” graffiti tags, has caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. He was ordered to spend 80 hours cleaning graffiti as part of a 2024 plea agreement for a felony malicious mischief.

“Now he’s still cleaning (graffiti) up,” Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” said. “He did that, but he’s still cleaning up, and he’s actually getting paid for it. So Casey and another former tagger, Jay Volkman, now have a graffiti removal business called .”

Cain stated his graffiti removal business will be very effective in combating tagging because they “know how it works” better than most. Cain does want to work with the City of Seattle to establish a designated outlet for graffiti tagging.

“I have mixed feelings,” Ursula said. “First of all, I mean the part about them actually turning it into a business, I’m all good, as long as they’re not encouraging people to put more graffiti up because they know that group, and then getting paid to clean it up.”

Cain still faces charges from his prior cases, but he claimed his days of tagging are over, wanting to leave a better mark on Seattle instead.

“If you were to tell me that the new commissioner or the new czar for graffiti in the City of Seattle would be some former taggers, I’d be all for it,” Gee Scott, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” said.

]]> graffiti seattle... Eggslut cracks open in Seattle鈥檚 Capitol Hill鈥擨s the name too much or just some scrambled fun? /kiro-opinion/eggslut-seattle-capitol-hill/4077515 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 22:00:05 +0000 /?p=4077515 , an international breakfast restaurant chain with locations stretching as far as London and Tokyo, has found a new home鈥擲eattle.

Its newest location will be at 1531 Melrose Avenue in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, replacing Homegrown Sandwiches.

Egglsut is known for its assortment of egg-themed breakfast sandwiches, served on a toasted brioche bun, and sides including truffle hashbrowns.

Is Eggslut’s name too much for you?

RELATED STORIES

“I know it sounds ridiculous, but I feel like I would need a shower after I go eat at Eggslut,” Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio, said. “I feel horrible even saying it. I just don’t get into businesses that try to have these trendy names and a name that, in my opinion, denigrates women…and you know that I do have a foul mouth.”

“Even though the menu sounds great, everything sounds great, I’m telling you that it’s great, you would still not go somewhere based on a name?” Gee Scott, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio, asked in response.

“OK family, hey boys, do you want to go to the Eggslut? No, I really don’t,” Ursula said.

Ursula also shared that she wouldn’t eat at other controversially-named places, like Pike Place Market’s Biscuit B**** or Las Vegas’ Heart Attack Grill.

According to Egglsut, the restaurant’s controversial name refers to the popular phrase, which started among foodies in the mid-2000s, that describes people who serve every dish topped by an egg.

“The question is, does the name matter? To some people, it does. I’m one of them,” Ursula said.

“When your sons come back in town after they’ve been out of town, what burger establishment is their favorite?” Gee asked Ursula.

“You want me to say Dick’s, but Dick’s is a person’s name, shorthand for Richard. So nice try, Gee,” Ursula responded. “That is a name. That is a nickname for Richard.”

“They didn’t call it Richard’s,” Gee said.

Gee and Ursula back speed cap device for repeat offenders鈥攑otential tool for teen drivers? /kiro-opinion/gee-and-ursula-speed-cap/4076792 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 12:00:26 +0000 /?p=4076792 The Washington Senate passed a bill that would require drivers with suspended licenses for reckless driving or speeding to install an “intelligent speed assistant” device in their vehicles,聽. The gadget would prevent drivers from exceeding the posted speed limit unless they hit a red button, which would allow them to override the system up to three times a month.

Gee Scott and Ursula Reutin, co-hosts of “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio, agreed with the idea, but not about the red button.

“Get rid of the red button,” Gee said. “I don’t even want it to be an option.”

Lawmakers said the red button would allow drivers to speed up if someone is dangerously tailgating, helping them avoid a potentially unsafe situation.

Gee and Ursula want to get rid of red button

However, Gee wasn’t buying that part.

“I love this idea of giving someone an opportunity to get back on the road. I did not like the whole red button and that lady’s explanation on the鈥攚ell, if somebody’s riding it coming from behind, speeding. You need to speed more to get out now,” he said.

Ursula agreed with Gee’s point on the red button and also liked the idea of the device.

“In terms of going this route, I love this idea,” she said. “I see why it has a lot of bipartisan support. I see why even the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs supports this, because the reality is, people drive like nuts out there.”

Teen drivers next?

Gee also pointed out that more than repeat offenders could benefit from an “intelligent speed assistant.”

“You want to know who would love this more than anybody in the world? Parents who have that 16-year-old that just got their license, and you found out how much that insurance premium is,” he said.

Seattle is set to host the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at Lumen Field. However, organizers need $20 million to host the events鈥$19.6 million for Lumen Field, $2 million for the University of Washington (UW), and $100,000 for Gonzaga.

“If we provide anything, it would, I think, have to be much less than those figures that you just mentioned because let’s look at the facts,” Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio, said. “The governor has asked every agency to cut back by 6%. We’re talking about a wealth tax, we’re talking about increasing property tax levies, et cetera, et cetera.

Seattle looks extra funding to host World Cup

The Senate and House have already agreed on funding for the UW and Gonzaga, leaving $19.6 million for Lumen Field.

Ursula argued against the state’s contribution due to a $15 billion budget deficit and economic challenges, including a 6% agency cut and potential recession.

Gee Scott, co-host of “Gee and Ursula,” agreed with Ursula and explained that tourism might not be a reliable source of income for Seattle this summer.

“I’m with you in saying no,” Gee said. “Visitors from Europe are down 13% right now; visitors from up north in Canada are down. So, will that have an impact on the World Cup here? I think so.”

Now, due to recently , his demotion is becoming clearer.

The situation stemmed from Roggenkamp, his wife, and a subordinate officer returning to a bar to retrieve a cell phone the wife forgot. He allegedly flashed his badge at the bar to gain special access to the closed bar, but when he was denied entry, he tried to challenge a bar patron and a bartender to a fight. His wife slapped the bar patron and kicked him in the groin.

Once they left, they were pulled over by police. In now-released body cam footage, Roggenkamp is seen arguing with deputies about the validity of the traffic stop and lying about his position, claiming he was a firefighter instead. He then admitted he was drunk after mixing up his words. According to MIPD, he drove his vehicle within an hour of being described as “very intoxicated” by deputies after his wife was arrested for assault. He drove to King County Jail and demanded for his wife to be released before jail staff contacted MIPD.

Should Roggenkamp still be employed by MIPD?

“My question is, why does he still have a job?” Ursula Reutin, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” asked.

“Because he’s law enforcement, because police unions, because there are so many things that are put in place to protect awful cops,” Gee Scott, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” answered. “Am I surprised that this cop has a job still? No.”

Instead of a termination, Roggenkamp was granted a last-chance agreement that was entered in January 2024. The Criminal Justice Training Commission is still investigating this incident.

“Do you guys know what life was like before body cams? Do you know what some of these cops would do?” Gee asked. “I didn’t mean to get into a bad place with this topic, Ursula, but just think of the bad cops that have gotten away with stuff since slave patrol鈥攖he origins of police agencies. Imagine the families that have been messed up for generations because of that. It is just bothersome.”

]]> ... Political scientist detests Trump鈥檚 tariff strategy: ‘This is insider trading masquerading as policy’ /gee-and-ursula/trump-tariff-strategy-2/4074759 Sun, 13 Apr 2025 12:00:33 +0000 /?p=4074759 revealed how President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy opened up many new opportunities to renegotiate with foreign countries over trade deals and that the U.S. is now “getting the respect we deserve now.”

Many pundits and experts disagreed with Lutnick’s claims, including political scientist Dr. Jason Johnson, an associate professor of politics and journalism at Morgan State.

“This is terrible. This is insider trading masquerading as global economic policy from this regime because I barely want to call them an administration,” Johnson said on “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio. “If you want to go to war, you pick a target, and then you go after that target, and you engage, and you battle, and you find the best deal, and you sue for peace. What you don’t do is start a war with everybody in the building, then backtrack on half the tariffs.

“This is not a good strategy. It will not accomplish the things that Trump said it would accomplish,” Johnson continued. “It doesn’t get us better deals long term, it doesn’t bring jobs back to the U.S., and in the short term, it could be very, very expensive, especially when it comes to the services, products and things like that that Americans want to buy in the summer.”

Finding positives among Trump’s plans

RELATED STORIES

Johnson did identify some silver linings in the Trump administration’s aggressive strategy.

“I can say, in the long-term economic view, what Trump is doing right now is terrible, but many of these trade agreements did need to be readjusted. They just don’t need to be readjusted this way,” Johnson said. “What Trump is doing now could potentially get some of these deals to be renegotiated. Will they offset the bad deals? No. But the only positive I can see is that some of these trade relations were based on policies from 15, 20, sometimes 30 years ago. They needed to be updated and they haven’t been updated.

“The problem is, Trump isn’t doing it because he really wanted to update these deals long term,” Johnson added. “He’s doing it because he wanted to crash the stock market so his billionaire buddies could buy back stock and make money at our expense.”
