In this episode of The Fix Washington Podcast, Rep. Cyndy Jacobsen joins House Republican Caucus Chair Peter Abbarno to discuss public safety, accountability, and affordability in Washington state. They break down how current laws, agency interpretations, and one-party control in Olympia are affecting families, local governments, and crime victims.
The conversation dives into serious public safety concerns, including vehicular homicide sentencing, hit-and-run laws, fentanyl exposure in homes, and why key public safety bills are not receiving hearings. Rep. Jacobsen also addresses transparency issues within state agencies, unfunded mandates on local governments, and the growing strain on communities as costs continue to rise.
