Well-wishers packed Bellingham City Council chambers Wednesday, Dec. 21 to salute Mayor Dan Pike, whose four-year term ends Dec. 31 after a narrow defeat at the polls in November.
The testimonials offered to Pike were pretty standard stuff, but City Attorney Joan Hoisington turned the event into a roast, briefly.
She took the microphone to recognize Pike?s ?extraordinary aptitude for developing new and novel legal theories,? adding, ?Surprisingly, we have often prevailed.?
She then presented Pike with an honorary, tongue-in-cheek law degree on behalf of her staff, and urged him not to try to use it.
Pike told his audience that he has accepted a short-term assignment with Sightline Institute of Seattle, where he expects to be working on a project related to rail transportation issues, coal shipments and public policy.
