The latest Port of Seattle controversy erupted because commissioner Pat Davis supposedly cut a deal to pay the retiring CEO a full year's compensation -- without telling the rest of the board.
Running up costs and losing business to rivals apparenty hasn't been enough to shake the port's management culture. Even last winter's fiasco over Christmas trees at Sea-Tac could be dismissed by some as part of wider cultural confusion.
The latest example of mismanagement ought to be enough for voters to demand change.
