To oppose honoring Dr. Martin Luther King through adopting his name as a county symbol would be to invite accusations of racism. So it comes down to a choice: spend a half a million to change the logos or oppose honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. The pure politician, who does not fear pillaging the public purse, nor cares for the advancements Dr. King challenged America to make, chooses based on which option will win him/her the most approval (or minimize disapproval.) And so, we see that King county politicians are very nearly pure politicians indeed. I would have renamed the bloody county myself - invite school students to come up with a new name - if they were so concerned about the long-dead slaveholder named King (whose first name I could not even find in a casual Google search.)

I wonder how much this will cost the city? No wonder why the rural areas of King County want to form a new county. And for the record I live and grew up in Snohomish County. Thank goodness!
