Elected mayor movement: The sequel? | Mirror editorial
The elected mayor movement has officially returned. The latest attempt to overhaul Federal Way's form of government is headed toward the ballot in November.
Last year, the proposal seemed more like a solution in search of a problem. An elected mayor does not guarantee sound leadership or solid city management, and anyone can run for the position. About 20 percent of eligible voters turned out in a special election last year, rejecting the measure with 53.6 percent of the vote.
This time around, the issue deserves a closer look, for better or worse. Federal Way's leadership vacuum is more pronounced. No disrespect is intended for the current council members who were elected to serve. Their intentions are earnest, and their service is appreciated. However, it is fair to wonder what might become of the mayoral position if the job suddenly came with a handsome paycheck.
When the matter went before voters in early 2008, The Mirror recommended keeping the current council/city manager form of government. The Mirror also recommended exploring a hybrid system with both an elected mayor and city manager, similar to Tacoma's government.
Regardless of the outcome in November, remember that the persistent group of citizens who started all of this will continue to chip away at the dam until it finally breaks.
Dumas Bay Centre
Kudos to the city for leading a recent discussion with residents over the future of Dumas Bay Centre. The city has shown a commitment to helping Dumas Bay Centre reach its potential. Unfortunately, the facility faces an uphill battle amid leaner economic times, as renovations could cost more than $3 million. Although the outdated facility continues to bleed money, it is refreshing to hear community input on how to keep a true gem alive in Federal Way.

The SEC will provide plenty of flash on offense this year, but the league is lacking great quarterbacks.
Georgia's Aaron Murray, Florida's John Brantley and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson are the elite of the division, but other than Murray, none of these three players have had a huge impact yet.
And if this conference lacks quarterbacks, it surely makes up for it at the running back, wide receiver, and the offensive line positions. The conference is loaded with skill players, and with the great defenses in the SEC, this should make for one exciting season.
In the following article, I will rank and analyze the SEC offenses.

On this day in economic and financial history...
Embattled drugmaker Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) announced the first stages of a nationwide Tylenol recall on Oct. 5. 1982, after seven people died of poisoning from cyanide-laced headache pills. It would mark the beginning of an industry transition toward tamper-proof packaging and a more tamper-resistant pill form. The company's swift, decisive response earned it a great deal of praise in the media, blunting the severe damage its brand suffered through the scandal.
The country found itself fascinated with the "Tylenol murders." The FBI assigned nearly 30 agents to the case. A letter surfaced shortly after the first recall announcements, demanding $1 million in payment from Johnson & Johnson to stop the cyanide tampering. By this point, Johnson & Johnson had offered full exchanges for all outstanding supplies of Tylenol. Several people were arrested in connection with the cyanide tampering and extortion attempt by the time Johnson & Johnson revealed the recall's costs -- $100 million -- at the end of October. No murderer was ever found.
Johnson & Johnson has come under fire several times since for its response to later quality-control crises. The company battled more than 100 lawsuits in the 90s over deaths and liver damage from Tylenol overdoses. It recalled many over-the-counter drugs in 2009 and 2010 for multiple reasons, including potential bacterial contamination, unpleasant odors, and tiny shards of metal in the medicine. The company's more recent responses to problems wholly under its control have been unfavorably compared to the swift action taken in response to murderous tampering.
The company has seen its revenue flatline since its most recent recall episodes. Net income remains well below levels reached at the start of 2010.
Rebuilding the telecom trust
On Oct. 5, 1983, AT&T's (NYSE: T ) corporate predecessor took the first steps toward a post-Bell existence, incorporating as Southwestern Bell as a result of the landmark antitrust decision handed down in 1982. Two days later, Bell Atlantic also incorporated, forming the first link in the corporate chain leading to today's Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) .
Just prior to divestiture, monopolist AT&T boasted a market cap of nearly $60 billion. Today, after multiple consolidative moves from both parties, the two largest remnants of Ma Bell are worth a combined $350 billion. To put that in perspective, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI ) reached 1,250 points the day Southwestern Bell incorporated. It's grown nearly 9% per year since. The Baby Bell spinoffs, on the other hand, have since grown their collective market caps over the original AT&T's size by just over 6% per year since divestiture.
Both telecoms have left the Dow in the dust since Verizon joined AT&T on the index in April 2004. They've each doubled, while the Dow's only gained 30%.
A company can rule the roost without running afoul of antitrust crusaders. The best American companies aren't those tied to American consumers -- they've expanded smartly across the globe. International growth will drive them, and the Fool's picked out three great American companies ready to dominate the world. Each year they grow faster than Ma Bell's descendants, and each year they pay appetizing dividends to complement that growth. Discover what makes these three companies great in the Fool's most popular free report. Just click here to learn more.
