Here's a follow up piece that I found in Shift WA :
The mayors of eight South King County cities sent an open letter to both state and county officials to describe how the passage of the liberals’ soft-on-crime proposals (especially at the state level) has contributed to the sharp increase in crime in their communities. In this unprecedented action, the mayors stated that the Democrats passage of SB 5476, which decriminalized possession of such lethal drugs as fentanyl, methamphetamines, and heroin, and the passage of HB 1054, which prevents police from pursuing most suspected criminals, are the top contributing factors to the increase in crime in their cities.
The media asked Governor Jay Inslee for his response to the letter from the mayors and (as usual) he failed to take responsibility for supporting and signing the two pieces of legislation which the mayors wrote was causing problems in their communities. The governor also refused to commit to fixing the problems in the Democrat-only legislation, which not only the mayors said is causing crime to rise, but has also drawn the ire of law enforcement leaders from across the state. Instead the governor gave a non-committal response which said that the rise in crime can only be reversed by all levels of government working together. It seems to many that nearly all levels of government in Washington State are attempting to solve the crime problem, but the Democrats in the legislature and the governor are refusing to do what is needed to help law enforcement do their job.
