Lawmaker to seek state bill to crack down on homeless camps

State Sen. Mark Miloscia will push legislation next year to crack down on homeless encampments and punish local governments that do not enforce regulations on encampments.

Miloscia, a Federal Way Republican who is running for state auditor, would bar local governments from setting guidelines on encampments more lenient than state standards and would sanction local governments that fail to act on unauthorized encampments.

Local governments that do not enforce the standards would face a loss of state funding, although Miloscia did not specify what source of funding.

The proposal aims to push back against a proposal being considered by the Seattle City Council — and favored by civil-rights groups— that would make it more difficult for the city to evict campers from unauthorized encampments.

as a high schooler he worked for my campaign and was a Democrat...then as an adult he got very Catholic and wound up going to the rebel Tridentine Mass (the one where they still refused to do the Mass in the vernacular and had a very outdated social and theological outlook) because of this he switched parties and for many years became a one issue candidate: ABORTION. he has gotten more and more conservative as the years have gone on.
