AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Prison Policy Under Federal Fire: The U.S. Justice Department opened a civil-rights investigation into Washington’s Gig Harbor women’s prison, alleging the state failed to protect female inmates from sexual and physical violence and intimidation by male prisoners who identify as female—following a lawsuit tied to an alleged attack last year. Income Tax Repeal Push: Support is growing for Washington’s income tax repeal effort as petition sign-ups accelerate ahead of the July deadline. Redistricting Fight: A federal judge rejected a bid to undo Washington’s legislative district maps, keeping the focus on Latino voting strength after earlier rulings. Courts Watch: A Seattle judge also kept an Amazon class action over sales-tax practices in federal court, finding the case likely clears the federal threshold. Meanwhile, on the ground: Washington State Patrol is actively ticketing illegal I-90 U-turns near Moses Lake—$437 a pop—right as Memorial Day traffic ramps up.
