Redmond City Councilmember Steve Fields says some fellow WA Democrats are criticizing him for standing with Bellevue landlord Jaskaran Singh. Apparently politics is more important than doing the right thing. Singh’s plight has already exposed the broken King County court system and clearly shows Dems have overcorrected by passing laws protecting deadbeat tenants. @BrandiKruse , looks like Fields is getting hammered by his own party for being common sense.
