Happening tonight: Sheriff’s meeting on county budget cuts

As mentioned in our first report on this, the meeting’s not in West Seattle, but many of these possible county cuts affect public safety/criminal justice in our area (as well as on-the-street law enforcement in neighboring White Center) so it’s an important issue for West Seattle as well: King County Sheriff Sue Rahr‘s public meeting about the situation she headlines as “Public Safety in Peril” is 6 pm tonight at SeaTac City Hall (map/get directions). Read the full meeting notice (including toplines on possible cuts) here.

I’m very concerned about possible funding cuts to the county’s mental health court system. People with a severe and persistent mental illness have been special needs that should be mindful of.
