SEATAC — City officials in SeaTac say they’re coming up with a plan to clean up a park littered with trash and graffiti, after a city councilwoman said she was so fed up with the filth that she’d use her own salary for the job.
KIRO-TV reports that Councilwoman Pam Fernald has been trying for eight years to get the city to provide money to clean up North SeaTac Park, and she recently offered to donate her $12,000 salary to the effort.
Fernald says that probably won’t be necessary now, because the city manager has promised to come up with a plan to pay for the clean-up by the end of the month.
During a recent clean-up effort, Fernald found drug needles. She says she got pricked when she picked them up, and she’s since had to have various shots to fight off disease.
