...calls for Black residents to form ‘most powerful political party’ - Elaine Mallon Fox News
The Seattle City Council president said she works with two budgets — her district’s and "the Black budget" — and urged Black residents to unite as "the most powerful political party" in Seattle.
  • "So, I got two budgets every time I go to council member Dan Strauss every year. I have a District 3 budget and then a Black budget," Hollingsworth told the audience.
  • Hollingsworth's remarks came just days before Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson ordered city agencies to cut their budgets for next year by 5% to 10%. 
Seattle is facing a projected budget deficit of $140 million for the 2026 fiscal year...
