The Seattle Times has endorsed the King County veterans and human services levy.
In an editorial Monday, Aug. 1, the Times editorial board said this:
“VOTER approval of the King County Veterans and Human Services Levy in 2005 powered an array of programs to provide housing, employment, counseling and related support services.
“In addition to helping veterans, their families and others get through tough times, the programs reduced the use of emergency services and saved money.
“The demonstrated success of efforts to reduce homelessness and restart troubled lives is the reason the renewal of King County Proposition 1 goes before voters on the Aug. 16 ballot with broad political and public support.”
