Does your employer match charitable gifts? Some portals still show our former name, Mill Creek Police Foundation. Search EIN 82-2956637 and designate Mercer Island Chapter so the gift and match count here. backmipd.org/faq#employer-gi…

Medicare is funded by a tax on labor. 1.45% from the worker, 1.45% from the employer, on every dollar of wages. No cap since 1994. The deal: you work, you pay in, and for most people coverage starts at 65.

But an Ai/Si agent never turns 65. It never files a claim. It pays into a benefit it cannot receive. That's not a tax on a worker anymore. It's a tax on the hour, cut loose from the person it was built to protect.

Maybe that's the point: AI funds the care of the humans it displaced. Or maybe it breaks the logic of payroll tax entirely. Which is it?

Tomorrow night our streets will be full of trick-or-treaters. Drivers, please slow down and watch for kids crossing mid-block. Parents, glow sticks and flashlights help little ones be seen. Happy Halloween, Mercer Island! 🎃

Everyone's debating whether to tax AI. That's the wrong frame. Government won't swap payroll tax for a token tax. It will do what it has always done: redefine who counts as a worker. An Ai/Si agent hour becomes a labor hour.

I've run a city budget and a national state and local tax firm. Governments don't give up a revenue base. They redefine it. The question is whether we write that definition carefully or in a crisis.

If an Ai/Si agent works 2,080 hours a year doing a W-2 job, why is it taxed like software instead of like the worker it replaced? Genuinely curious where people land on this.

Wondering how to support Mercer Island police beyond the City budget? The @mercergov Support MIPD page explains it: gifts through our chapter fund equipment, training, wellness and community programs. mercerisland.gov/police/page…

Sunday's Coffee with a Cop at the South End Starbucks was the best kind of morning: neighbors, coffee and a couple of junior officers in full uniform. Thank you to @MercerIslandPD for making time for our community. backmipd.org

After years of serving Mercer Island, I'm starting a new chapter. I'm now Citizen Delegate for the Mercer Island Chapter of the North Sound Police Foundation, helping neighbors support @MercerIslandPD with equipment, training and officer wellness. backmipd.org

Happy National Coffee Day, Mercer Island. MIPD is now a member agency of the North Sound Police Foundation, so we can support our officers directly: wellness, training and gear the City budget doesn't reach. The price of a latte is a great first gift. zeffy.com/en-US/donation-for…
