As I'm reading this article my eye is drawn to the ad in the sidebar touting the re-election of Councilmember Lynne Robinson. I have to laugh. Two examples of her "proven leadership" are:
1. Ensure accountable city government focused on results
2. Plan for Bellevue's future while protecting neighborhoods

Given everything I heard Councilmember Robinson say at Monday night's meeting, I'd like to know where her "proven leadership" has been all this time in ensuring an "accountable city government" with relation to the shelter siting? What "results" has her lack of government accountability ensured? Who has benefitted from it? Why is she so concerned about protecting "neighborhoods" that are simply concepts at this time from the negative impacts of the proposed low-barrier shelter but she is totally on board with exposing *existing* neighborhoods to those same impacts and accusing them of NIMBYism?

I'm grateful to Councilmember Wallace for this great plan. It's a win-win for everyone.
