State Supreme Court rules recall petition for Seattle Councilwoman Sawant can go forward
The Washington State Supreme Court has found sufficient legal and factual evidence to support a recall against Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant on some charges.
Petitioner Ernest H. Lou, among others, filed recall charges alleging that Sawant:
1. Delegated city employment decisions to a political organization outside city government
2. Used city resources to support a ballot initiative and failed to comply with public disclosure requirements
3. Disregarded state orders related to COVID-19 and endangered the safety of city workers and others by using her passkey to allow hundreds of protesters into a locked Seattle City Hall after hours on June 9, 2020
