SEATAC, Wash. (AP) - City officials in SeaTac say they’re coming up with a plan to clean up a park littered with trash and graffiti, after a city councilwoman said she was so fed up with the filth that she’d use her own salary for the job.
KIRO-TV reports (https://is.gd/Kun8eG ) that Councilwoman Pam Fernald has been trying for eight years to get the city to provide money to clean up North SeaTac Park, and she recently offered to donate her $12,000 salary to the effort.
Fernald says that probably won’t be necessary now, because the city manager has promised to come up with a plan to pay for the clean-up by the end of the month.
During a recent clean-up effort, Fernald found drug needles. She says she got pricked when she picked them up, and she’s since had to have various shots to fight off disease.
