Mayor Nickels statement on clean energy bill
SEATTLE - Mayor Greg Nickels today released this statement on the passage of the American Clean Energy and Security Act in the House of Representatives:
"This is a landmark vote that will help Seattle and all other American cities transform to a clean-energy economy. For years, there was debate over the existence of global warming. Then came discussions about what to do about it. Today, we take substantive action. Earlier this week, as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, I sent personal e-mails to more than 440 mayors urging them to contact their congressional representatives in support of this legislation. Last week, I met with Speaker Nancy Pelosi to discuss how we could work together on our shared goal of passing the bill. We now enter the era of clean energy. I stand ready to work with President Obama and Congress to create jobs in this new economy, and to lay the foundation for a cleaner and more secure energy future. This is good for our environment, good for our people, and good for Seattle."

Shelters inundated with unwanted “gifts” after Easter
SEATTLE – The Seattle Animal Shelter encourages people to think twice before purchasing a live bunny, duckling or chick as an Easter gift this holiday season.
“People often don’t think about these cute little animals growing up into adult animals who require a commitment to provide daily care for the rest of their lives,” says Seattle Animal Shelter Director Don Jordan. “Rabbits, for example, are not so easy to keep. They require a lot of socialization and time and can’t just be left stuck in a cage. Bringing any animal into your home places demands on your time and financial resources and should be done only after carefully assessing your family’s ability to meet the animal’s needs.”
Unfortunately, each year after Easter, animal shelters are inundated with bunnies, ducklings, and chicks relinquished by people who bought them on a whim. Many must be euthanized due to a lack of available homes. Some animals given as |
