Letter: The Mayor is right, the Governor is wrong
KIRO 7 News Staff reported late afternoon April 20 that Lakewood’s mayor “admits he’s responsible for an online social media post criticizing enforcement of Washington’s statewide coronavirus shutdown and blaming Gov. Jay Inslee.” Good for Mayor Anderson. While apparently the entirety of Anderson’s claims cannot be considered as accurate, his charges alleging heavy-handedness – let […]
Letter: Is coronavirus a reason for cannabis home delivery?
