One Response
There is a sense of urgency and compliance requirement the city wants you to believe exist with HB 1754 and RCW 35A.21.360. This isn’t true and they are willing to twist the facts and lie to you. The bill. never required cities to create ordinances. The bill state that cities cannot prohibit religious organizations from hosting homeless people. Why is Adolfo Bailon willing to lie? Also, a temporary interim can expire. there is not a requirement to enact something. something is up and I am hopefully not the only one to see it. Also, why is the community director explaining an RCW when there is a city attorney?
