Disinterpi. clWe Ina tough, competitive world, it is crucial for CEOs to have direct and forthright conversations with clients and suppliers. To do that effectively, they have to disintermediate their direct reports and even their techies, which means that they will be able to yet accur -ate information from the �f eld without-it b--eing��- biasea;-s.ay, by their direct reports -who may only want to tell their CEO what they think he or she wants to hear. "By using social media tools like Twitter themselves, CEOs can disintermedidte everyone from the data stream. They can. connect directly with customers, clients, suppliers and others and hear unfiltered reports of what is really going on in their enterprises. Just as importantly, they can make their views known to their followers and stakeholder group without it being filtered by their PR people or the media. In times of crisis, this might save the organization." SUPERMAJORITY At our last evening meeting, on Jan. 15, we considered a resolution at the request of Councilman Lover to ask voters whether they would like to 1 amend the city charter to require a five -vote supermajority on any new councilmanic tax increases. I supported the idea in principle and planned to vote for it, but changed my vote at the last moment. The resolution failed 4 -3. My decision has gained a fair amount of media attention, both that night and again last week when I announced I would be raising the issue again. It's really not very complicated. The resolution as presented needed to be amended so that the election would take place in August instead of April. I was annoyed with the tone of our discussion and made a snap decision that rather than continue to talk about it that night, we could correct the problem on another day. That's what I hope we'll do tonight. Personally, I believe it should be hard for elected officials to raise taxes. We should always look for other solutions first. Last November, Washington state voters overwhelmingly approved — for the fourth time — an initiative that requires our state Legislature to get a two - thirds majority vote to raise taxes. That initiative passed in every single county in the state, and voters in Pierce County passed a similar measure requiring a supermajority vote on councilmanic tax increases in their county. Voters in our state clearly want elected officials to think twice and work together before asking for more money. I think this charter amendment is going to be very popular with Yakima voters, and that's why it has my support. &Y, S a *L AuOd a a -s- I 3 ++�r�
