Rep. Tarra Simmons Ethics Hearing Heats Up + Parents Rights Initiative Heads To Ballot
-

Written by:
A rare legislative ethics hearing involving Washington State Rep. Tarra Simmons continued Tuesday as witnesses testified about campaign donations, nonprofit funding, and allegations of conflicts of interest. The hearing could result in significant penalties if ethics violations are found. Meanwhile, the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development is moving away from the long-standing Housing First model and toward treatment-focused homelessness programs. Washington officials say they have been preparing for the shift as billions continue to be spent addressing homelessness statewide. The show also examines two November ballot initiatives involving parental rights and girls' sports, the debate over ballot language, and the latest on the income tax repeal effort as signature gathering continues statewide.
