Tribal rights, criminal justice reform on AG Ferguson's 2021 legislative agenda

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jan. 26—Tribal rights and criminal justice reform are high on Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson's agenda for this legislative agenda.

Ferguson's legislative slate, which was announced Friday, includes a bill to enshrine in state law the Attorney General's Office's first-of-its-kind policy that requires the office to obtain informed consent from Washington's 29 federally recognized tribes before initiating a program or project that affects tribes, tribal rights, tribal lands and sacred sites.

Along with his tribal agenda, Ferguson is re-introducing his legislation abolishing the death penalty and limiting high-capacity magazines.

HIs agenda also includes a new bill requiring the collection and publication of data on the use of deadly force by law enforcement, which already has passed out of committee with bipartisan support, and another prohibiting price gouging during emergencies.

1. In communicating with my indigenous granddaughter who lives in Canada I've pointed out

to her that all Canadian and U.S. treaties with their indigenous population convey
Sovereignty to the tribes. That's SOVEREIGNTY. Let's always remember that!
