"Tacoma City Councilman David Boe�s private architectural firm draws nearly half its income from working with a local construction company that he helped to bid for a city contract to revamp Cheney Stadium just before joining the council earlier this year.

I am just waiting to see Spiro Manthou's "Cheneyville" come to fruition. Not sure if the development will take the place of Foss HS, Heildleberg Park, Boy Scouts of America or Metro Parks. More »
