A judge just issued a partial (but significant) ruling against the Seattle Police Department in the Seattle Times' lawsuit challenging SPD's "grouping" policy, in which SPD refuses to work on more than one records request at a time, giving false "placeholder" dates for every subsequent request.

Sign in PRO for SB 6201, which gives social housing the same property and excise tax exemptions that public housing authorities receive! This aligns with our primary bill, HB 1687, and we are looking forward to working with Seattle Social Housing to advocate for it. tinyurl.com/HONSB6201

There was also a funny moment earlier where former state Sen. Joe Nguyen opposed the Well WA Fund as Commerce Dept. head, and Rep. Scott pointed out Nguyen had sponsored a bill 6 years ago in #WALeg to create a progressive payroll tax just like this one, and asked him what had changed.

Following recent federal cuts, the Well WA Fund will keep vital funding for higher education, health care, housing, and food assistance. This would be paid by only Washington's wealthiest corporations.

All that said — Tiffani McCoy is an excellent choice for an interim CEO.
She is smart, experienced, has a clear understanding of the organization, its charter, and needs.

These neighborhood signal chats are absolutely crazy right now. You’ve got young activists in there with the most normie folks alive who all just absolutely fucking hate ICE so much. And they are all willing to put their bodies on the line for their communities.

One of the reasons we don’t require candidates to attend one of our meetings to receive our endorsement is to make it easier for single parents to run for office.
there is simply no other conclusion than that mayors must be rich
and THEN it's fine if they spend months of their terms flying first class to international junkets and use the mayor's office to campaign

Mayor Katie Wilson pays small fine for child care help during campaign
The modest fine was reflective of the fact that Wilson and her campaign fully cooperated as the ethics commission looked into an unprecedented issue.
