City Council President Richard Conlin
Now Playing: The Roots f. DJ Jazzy Jeff / Things Fall Apart / The Next Movement

I'm surprised The Belltowner hasn't brought this up, but I thought I'd point out that Councilman Richard Conlin, who has a tendency to oppose density increases, is now the Council President. He's already been quoted once in the Key Arena story in the P-I.

The Stranger points out that Conlin wants the council to be "more engaged and assertive", which I'm all for; government in the U.S. is almost always a bit adversarial, and the Council's behavior until Jan Drago came along was close to unilateral disarmament. I'm a tepid supporter of the Nickels agenda, so getting the Council to act as a check on his development plans seems like a good idea.
