Ron Sims

Ron Sims

He’s been mentioned as a prospect for the Obama Administration, and maybe he is. But first maybe a look back at the administration of King County Executive Ron Sims would be worth while.

The Seattle Weekly does just that this week, in prickly fashion. It’s detailed and expansive enough to b be worth the extended read.

Core quote, from Rollin Fatland, who worked on two Sins executive campaigns: “Somewhere along the line, the county lost its focus, its mission of providing basic services like jail, Metro [buses], and elections. It ran into trouble straying and getting into areas that may not be a county mandate. On a personal level, I have affection for Ron. He’s a nice man, but somewhere along the line he got off track.”

    One or two won't do. Most books (articles, speeches) about fixing America's health care mess address two or three very real problems and solutions but not the waterfront, and our medical problem is too complex for cure by only a single silver bullet or two. This book for the first time compiles an extensive list of changes, some of them simple and some complex, that could cut costs and re-wire our system so it works better for all Americans. 50 ideas in a short and easy read - just 168 pages packed with solutions that can work. Available now from Ridenbaugh Press, $13.95
