Reading here an op-ed from last Sundays tri-city tabloid "herald" by the Everett Herald. This is about the initiative process in Washington State about the new "holding cops accountable" law.
Here's the reason for this post.
"I have incredibly grave concerns that we are creating a convoluted process for getting around a constitutional right". Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, told the Associated Press before passage.
Good on you Joe.
Now this from the "other" side.
Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds, was more blunt in admitting the unconstitutionality of the move, even as she gave it her approval.
"This is a worthy endeavor," Chase told the AP. "I think it takes precedence over what the Constitution says about initiatives."
If things don"t change, we're screwed.
