According to S.T., former Seattle City Attorney Tom Carr has a new job at higher elevation and higher pay in Boulder, Colo.

Carr was defeated in his bid for re-election in November, losing to political newcomer Pete Holmes, who captured 62 percent of the vote.

Carr, who served two terms, founded a community court to handle the cases of low-level offenders and won praise for helping to reduce car theft. But he also could be a controversial figure, a man whose blunt style — the product of an East Coast upbringing — was off-putting to some. For example, he clashed with bar owners over a sting operation that nabbed underage drinkers and was criticized as being politically motivated.

Carr's new job pays $170,000 a year, according to the Daily Camera. As city attorney here, he made about $130,000.

Let's just hope he leaves The Mountain Sun alone. That place is awesome.
