One Seattle judge has caught my attention: District Court Judge Lisa Paglisotti, a former public defender, who seems to keep releasing dangerous suspects on their own personal recognizance, despite objections from prosecutors concerned that the suspect won't return to court. After I published my story on the judge, the office of the King County District Court Chief Presiding Judge Susan Mahoney reached out hoping to discuss the issue and we happily obliged. She believes there's more context to understand and she disagrees with my analysis.

Jason Rantz is Seattle’s fresh, contemporary conservative voice. Young and urban, passionate and bold, Rantz is outnumbered by the Progressive chorus, yet refuses to ignore the conservative principles at the core of America’s greatness. Prolific on-air and online, Rantz knows he’s outnumbered in Seattle, but he’s never shy to be outspoken about it.
