white with foam

I wonder about the timing of this article, two days after the last printed P-I rolls out the door. It’s the kind of shoe-leather story the Times is reputed to not be that good at. Absent our alleged best means of ferreting out corruption, and until something better comes along, I have no choice but to rely on them or the Stranger, or, hell, even Richard Lee for gadfly work. Kelleher started her investigation in December, when the passions still ran high. Can someone point me to an equally dogged P-I report?

Props also to Nick Perry for helping to expose the shady goings-on at the Seattle Marathon, where I used to work. Now that’s bringing it home-town style.
