Sheriffs Fight Bill Tightening Rules
Senate Bill 5974, tightening rules for sheriffs in Washington state, is heading to Governor Fergusons desk. The bill, passed with bipartisan opposition, sets stricter eligibility standards, including decertification for serious misconduct. Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank and Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders are advocating for a veto. The bills supporters argue it applies clear standards, while critics claim it targets outspoken figures like Swank, who is under investigation for seven cases tied to fifteen complaints. The governors office has not commented yet, and Swank anticipates a legal battle if the bill becomes law.
