City Inside/Out: Juvenile Justice Levy 5/11/2012
Voters will decide in August whether to support a $210 million levy to replace King County`s aging facility for cases involving children. Located in Seattle`s Central District, the new Children and Family Justice Center will cost a median homeowner $25 a year for nine years. Supporters say the building is deteriorating beyond repair, but with detention numbers currently down, is this the right time to construct a new complex? We hear from King County councilmember and levy sponsor Bob Ferguson; King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg; former state Supreme Court Justice Bobbe Bridge; and Rick Lichtenstadter, Juvenile Division Supervisor of The Defender Association. We also go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the aging facility and hear from critic Ari Kohn about his concern over investing in a new building instead of more human services.

City Inside/Out: Youth Violence 11/7/2008
On Halloween, a 16-year-old black male was gunned down in Seattle. It is the city's 5th gang-related murder this year, and on this week's edition of City Inside/Out, we take a look at how city leaders plan to tackle this growing problem. Former Mayor Greg Nickels has proposed a $9 million youth violence prevention plan in his new budget, and he has set some ambitious goals, like cutting youth violence in half by 2010. Will the City council support his plan? And will the community rally around the use of former gang members as "violence interrupters?" We take a look at this controversial debate. We also convene a panel to discuss how Seattle should address this pressing problem. Studio guests include Seattle deputy mayor Tim Ceis, Seattle city council member Nick Licata, Urban League president James Kelly and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Puget Sound president/CEO Tina Podlodowski. |
