Seattle council upholds mayor’s veto on homeless RV permitting

(The Center Square) - The Seattle City Council rejected a vote on Thursday to override a mayoral veto of an RV permitting system for homeless individuals that the dais had passed just a few weeks earlier. Councilmember Rob Saka joined Councilmembers Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Eddie Lin and Dionne Foster in opposing the override after voting for the bill last month. Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed Councilmember Dan Strauss’ program last week with Saka’s support despite his criticism of her proposed budget cuts. When asked Tuesday why they were holding the vote, Rinck said the council believed it must act on a veto within 30 days under the city charter, regardless of the outcome. Councilmember Bob Kettle, the public safety chair, argued Thursday that they must address the impact of RVs on the community. “Voting to sustain the veto is voting for the status quo; it's voting to plan for a plan, and a vote to delay taking action,” Strauss said before the override failed to meet the required six-vote threshold. The bill Wilson vetoed was just one of six that made up Strauss’ Vehicle Resident Assistance Program. Wilson signed the other parts of VRAP, but the one she rejected included most

King County Shrinks Vashon Septic Inspection Zone From 1,300 Parcels to Just 75 Properties

King County has dramatically scaled back a proposal that would have required septic inspections on roughly 1,300 waterfront parcels on Vashon Island, narrowing the plan to about 75 properties clustered along isolated shoreline stretches. County officials say the smaller zone can still satisfy the minimum requirements of state law while sparing hundreds of homeowners from new inspection mandates.

America keeps funding homelessness instead of ending it | Opinion

Imagine calling the fire department as your home burns, only to discover the firefighters have been pouring gasoline on the flames. Worse, they demand ever-larger budgets, congratulate themselves for responding to more fires and insist that questioning their effectiveness threatens public safety. Welcome to America's "Homeless Industrial Complex." Recent revelations from Seattle and New York show just how disturbing it has become. In Seattle, an independent financial review uncovered a staggering $16.7 million shortfall at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, following years of financial mismanagement. The agency spent money it never earned, accumulated debt and incurred millions in interest expenses. Meanwhile, its CEO and her deputy earn more than $600,000 combined annually . Now Seattle and King County taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill . Across the country, an Oct. 31 New York Post investigation revealed that state Attorney General Letitia James' office has taken no enforcement action against three major homeless shelter operators despite serious findings against them by government watchdogs. Meanwhile, executives, lobbyists and associates connected to those operators contributed more than $56,000 to her political campaigns. Among the reported findings: One operator overbilled taxpayers more than $566,000; another faced scrutiny over insider transactions and

Washington Football Facing Must-Win Game With Trip to Michigan State

Ahead of their first trip to East Lansing as members of the Big Ten, Washington will face some serious pressure to come out on top over the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. A win for the Huskies doesn't exactly tip the scales on what has been a disappointing season, but suffering their fifth loss of the season to a team with just one win in conference play could prove to have a major impact on the future of the program. Before taking a snap, Jedd Fisch's program entered the season as the No. 17-ranked team in the country in the preseason AP Poll. With College Football Playoff aspirations from those both within and outside the building, those hopes quickly drifted away. After narrowly escaping their first two games, including a 16-14 win over Utah State in Week Two, the Huskies dropped out of the top 25 and haven't been back since. Since beginning conference play, UW has lost four of six, three of which were at home. To fall short of expectations is one thing, but the fashion in which Washington has done it is concerning. The offense, led by second-year starter Demond Williams Jr. and an offensive line that once
