Mayor Murray should have let sun shine on housing meetings

The mayor is blaming the media for the failure of part of his big housing and zoning plan. He should have let the sun shine in from the beginning.

Now that a big part of Mayor Ed Murray’s housing and zoning plan has blown up, it’s worth asking: What went wrong?

The mayor is blaming the media. For whipping up a frenzy that he feels wasn’t based on facts.

“We’ve had a false discussion that we are going to plow down your single-family home,” Murray told KUOW radio on Friday.

This has been the mayor’s complaint from the beginning.
