[edit] Lack of both sides

Is it me, or does this article seem to only focus on the opinions of Nickel's supporters and not on his opponents? He does have opposition; the goofed monorail project, the Key Arena debate, his stance on the viaduct/tunnel, his policies on homelessness, and, of course, strippergate. I don't really see much of anything in regards to his unpopularity in the article, and it seems a little off being it's well-known that he's not everyone's favorite mayor. I put up the NPOV to get a debate-of-sorts going about this kind of concern - any thoughts? Editor19841 (talk) 23:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It is just facts

While I think this article was probably written by one of Nickel's supporters, I think it is factually based. The "highlights of career" section (or the entire article) could definately be expanded and be more complete. I would agree that the current highlights, other than his work on Sound Transit, do not include the most notable events of his time in office, and from that standpoint, it could be seen as not biased.

[edit] should be expanded

It is incomplete and coincidentally the omissions are in Greg Nickels' favor.

[edit] Comments on climate change

This BBC article covers the details of the local efforts to implement Kyoto, at least from Greg Nickels' point of view. --Brianmc 10:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
