Constantine taps Tim Ceis for transition team

Seattle Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis will serve on King County executive-elect Dow Constantine's transition team, Constantine confirmed this afternoon.

Kurt Triplett, the appointed executive whom Constantine will succeed, said earlier that Ceis would be coordinating the team. Constantine said Ceis, who was once chief of staff to former County Executive Ron Sims, won't be chairing the transition team.

But Constantine said Ceis will help make staffing decisions for the new administration. "He's done several transitions before, as has Christian Sinderman," Constantine said.

Sinderman was a consultant in Constantine's successful campaign for executive. Constantine, chair of the County Council, defeated former TV news anchor Susan Hutchison Tuesday. He takes office after the election is certified on Nov. 24, less than three weeks from now.

Room can always be found for a soon to be unemployed democrat party attack dog. Posted on November 4, 2009 at 4:30 PM by happy as hell. Jump to comment

Is Dow serious with this? I thought we were finally rid of Nickel's attack dog once and for all but now he'll have his fingers in more... Posted on November 4, 2009 at 9:36 PM by ctrain1. Jump to comment

Wow, it took Dow less than 24 hours to lose my support. You know Dow, there is something known as a "friday night dump" in news... Posted on November 4, 2009 at 5:33 PM by bd Mike. Jump to comment
