Schadenfreude is sweet

Even the inconceivably brainless and incomprehensibly evil Spokane “city” dysgovernment has to face finite budget limits.

They hired a whole pack of utterly pointless symbolic creatures to send a “resistance” message to Trump, while simultaneously AMPLIFYING Trump’s worst crime in history and ferociously continuing the worst crime in history for two years after Trump got bored with it.

The Spokane City Council will shed most of its remaining policy managers at the end of next week, marking the end, at least for now, of a project to expand the council’s capacity that began seven years ago. Alex Gibilisco, the council’s manager of equity and inclusion, and Nicolette Ocheltree, manager of housing and homelessness, will both be laid off. The council already cut its Sustainability Initiatives Manager.

Ocheltree did a fine job of managing housing and homelessness, eliminating the former and tripling the latter.

The newspaper has mastered the deadpan art of saying what needs to be said without emphasis or loaded words:

Ocheltree expressed a mixture of sadness at being laid off, confusion at city policies possibly preventing her from getting a related job for the next year and excitement to be able to freely testify at City Council meetings again, which was a large part of her life before she was hired by the legislative body.

In other words Ocheltree was an annoying mosquito, and the council hired her to get the mosquito out of its meetings.
