Waste of public funds for public toilets.

Cost $5 Million, return on sale was $12,549. I do math for a living, but even 4 or 5 years of use doesn't boil down to $1-1.25 million per year for a freaking toilet. Renting a portapotty is about $500/mo, $6,000/year. Nice return on investment.

jesus dude u r bashing the city boys pretty hard today, these toilets were a much needed refuge for the heroin, meth and coke addicts to have a nice dry place to get high in the winter...u small town mccleary boys wouldnt understand that;)

and don't for get the sex!

Another brilliant move by Greg "the streets are paved of gold and money grows on trees" Nickels.

They were put in just because some peddler convinced Nichols what a God-send they were. You forgot to include the cost of maintenance (Of course done by the company who put them in). I believe they may have had to by their way out of the remaining years in that contract also.
Between him and Ron Simms it seems like a pecker measuring contest every year to see who can waste the most money.

Sorry SummerRun. I must just "lack the vision".

Hey, where else you going to take a hooker in Pioneer Square?

It was fun while they lasted.

Seattle was founded on hookers and opium dens. Why ruin it for future generations and blame office holders for trying to uphold tradition?

I have no issue with hookers & opium dens.

the funny thing about it is they are going to south sound race way not that far from dogfish's house.

I didn't vote for him. Leave me out of it, ya damn hick!

PS. The current Mayor is just as whacked.

.20 cent proposed "tax", per bag, for those that want to use a paper or plastic grocery bag at the store.

Okay Parker,

You just earned your permit to leave the city.

I'm free! Do I still have to wear this GPS ankle bracelet thing? What about the barcode tattoo on the back of my head - can I get that removed as well???

Yes,

The bracelete and tattoo stay. We need to know how to separate the hunters from the gatherers.

This is an opportunity Parker. I'm going to open a vending machine business in front of the stores. 3 paper or 5 plastic bags for a quarter.

Damn good idea if it passes!

Thanks! I thought it was a good idea.

I felt the toilets should have stayed only they'd be converted to little gas chambers.

Not you, permit boy.

Really?

What a waste. All that toilet money could have gone toward artwork at a sewage treatment facility, or art on an airport runway.
