Letter to the editor: Ferguson allowed firing of troopers and now claims he wants to improve public safety

Posted

Candidate for governor Bob Ferguson just released a commercial that is airing on all major Puget Sound networks. It can be found on YouTube under the name “Always Around.”

Mr. Ferguson is quoted as saying, “I’ll hire more police officers so we combat crime and improve public safety.”

As the Washington state Attorney General, Mr. Ferguson has spent the past 12 years as the leading law enforcement agent in our state, yet he sat back and allowed the firing of 74 Washington State Patrol troopers over their choice not to receive the COVID-19 vaccination series, placing our public safety at risk.

Additionally, 53 non-commissioned support staff employees were also dismissed. That does not align with his statements. Liar, Liar, pants on fire.
