TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
The King County Regional Homelessness Authority has consumed over a billion taxpayer dollars — and Seattle's homeless population is still climbing. A forensic audit found $4.26 million in overspent funds and $8 million that nobody can account for, including a gift card program with zero real controls. One billion dollars in, the agency's primary achievement is a bureaucratic machine that keeps feeding itself.
When Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson and King County Executive Girmay Zahilay — hardly right-wing firebrands — publicly declare the KCRHA's own corrective plan "insufficient," the failure is complete. The agency's response to this crisis of accountability was to commission a $900,000 outside consultant. Not reform. Not firings. Another study. Meanwhile the point-in-time count keeps rising, and defenders call slower growth a victory.
Sean breaks down the full five-year $1.1 billion budget, the drug addiction elephant in the room nobody in power will touch, and what an Olympia encampment sheltering a trafficked girl reveals about Washington state's collapse into lawlessness.
