This week we discuss the contentious decision by Seattle’s City Council and Mayor Bruce Harrell to expand police surveillance cameras. How should city leaders balance concerns about crime with questions about privacy and the misuse of surveillance? Also, when dozens speak out against a piece of legislation at a council meeting, what does that tell us us about public opinion citywide?
We also take a closer look at Mayor Harrell's proposed $80 million “reparations fund” for homeownership. We discuss the financial details, political implications, and ask whether it’s the right way to address generational wealth loss due to redlining.
Our editor is Quinn Waller.
