Seattle City Councilmembers have some grandiose plans for how to spend the city's $6.5 billion budget next year. Some ideas councilmembers (CMs) are proposing make good sense, but other ideas leave citizens wondering what planet they're living on.

When the council's first 77 budget revisions were tallied, Budget Committee Chair Sally Bagshaw figured that suggested additions tallied $589,754,005. That's about a third the size of the city's general fund budget.

Take proposals from CM Kshama Sawant (who has a had come-from-behind victory). Among her proposals, she wants all public transit in Seattle -- buses, light rail and street cars -- to be free. She has a bunch of ideas for how to afford her various schemes. She proposes axing the Navigation Team that conducts cleanup of illegal encampments and helps find shelter for the homeless.
