(1/2) Parks Tacoma's exec director is getting a $500k payout to resign in the midst of a budget deficit. But his departure has also raised q's about whether the agency's board maintained enough oversight of his performance in the nearly 10 years he served as executive director.

My latest on @tacomaschools: District officials tell me that unless the state fundamentally changes the way it funds public education, the district will have to continue to make cuts -- indefinitely.
