Fried A Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 2/24/23, 8:26 am

– This story about a cat interrupting a city council meeting in Liberty Lake is delightful.

– The House Our Neighbors campaign did quite well, a W is a W, of course but in this case, a large victory makes it tougher to marginalize.

– The high speed chases law moving forward had me worried that this legislative session would be all backsliding on police reform. So it’s good to see that the qualified immunity bill is moving forward.

– And hey, there’s some ambitious gun control too. Feel free to contact your legislator on these or anything else important to you.

– Wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Dooooo it now.

    by Carl Ballard — Friday, 2/17/23, 8:22 am

    – Ugh. A state House committee passed a bill to weaken the rules on when police officers can get involved in chases. I would urge you to contact your legislator and let them know that you want fewer high speed chases in Washington neighborhoods.

    – Can’t get enough urban forests.

    – You, yes you. Wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
