Learn about the latest in Seattle public affairs in about the time it takes for a coffee break! Brian Callanan of Seattle Channel and Kevin Schofield of Seattle City Council Insight take a close look at Mayor Jenny Durkan's proposals and the City Council's plans to cut the city's police and transportation budgets. Plus, did the Council act too quickly enacting a ban on tear gas, pepper spray, and chokeholds? We also preview the Council proposal for a capital gains tax, and highlight a delicious treat from Bakery Noveau in Burien.
