WA Supreme Court expedites timeline for appeal over Mayor Durkan recall petition

MyNorthwest –

The Supreme Court of Washington State has issued an expedited timeline to hear an appeal over a petition to recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan.

An initial ruling from King County Superior Court Judge Mary Roberts had previously struck down six of seven assertions made in a petition from a group known as “Fire the Mayor,” upholding the one that alleged the mayor had failed to take action regarding extreme crowd control measures — including the use of tear gas — employed by police during early-June protests that took place in downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill.

Mayor Durkan filed a motion asking Judge Roberts to reconsider, claiming her office had no legal duty to prescribe Seattle Police Department policies. Roberts denied that motion in July, before Durkan filed an appeal with the state Supreme Court. MORE

  1. And notice that in order to control the narrative the reader comments on MyNorthwest.com have, all to conveniently, been disappeared. This was done just as mostly peaceful riot season was getting underway.

    This was done throughout mostly peaceful riot region. It is simply not credible to assert that this was purely coincidental. All of the platforms that had a robust interaction feature that allowed readers to comment shut down leading up to what is now 80 plus days of mostly peaceful rioting, looting and thuggery.

    If this was not a coordinated effort to control the narrative, it is the mother of all coincidental happenings.

  2. The most humorous part of all of this is that the fire the mayor campaign wants her gone because she isn’t far enough left. From their web site:
    “We’re a Capitol Hill-based organization of students, losers, lovers, bartenders, writers, artists, and fundraisers with BIPOC management, Wheelchair users, Deaf organizers, and LGBTQIA representation.”
