MICHAEL SWAN: EMPTY CONDOLENCE >>>

I yanked this off the News Tribune's Political Buzz blog:

Two-term Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, who last month failed to advance to November's general election, today issued the following press release about Russell Investments' plans to leave Tacoma for Seattle:

SEATTLE â€" Mayor Greg Nickels today issued this statement regarding the announcement by Russell Investments that it will relocate its headquarters to Seattle:

"I am pleased with today's announcement that Russell Investments has decided to locate in downtown Seattle. We warmly welcome Russell and its employees. With an international reputation, Russell will be a tremendous addition to our city. We know that Russell evaluated all its options and considered many factors in making this business decision, and I am heartened by its conclusion that Seattle is an excellent place to do business. Across the world, Seattle is known for its innovative companies and we look forward to having Russell join our community. As we welcome the employees of Russell Investments, we recognize the effect of Russell's decision on our neighbors in Tacoma. Ultimately, the most important fact is that workers can stay in the Puget Sound area and that a prominent company will continue to call the Northwest home."

Fuck that guy.
