Legislation Introduced to Hold Housing Justice Project Accountable

Breaking

King County Council Vice-Chair Reagan Dunn following through and introducing legislation to hold King County Bar Association’s Housing Justice Project accountable.

“King County must intervene immediately to bring accountability to Housing Justice Project programs, audit how our funds are being used, and stop ill-intended crooks from continuing to exploit eviction prevention aid,” says Dunn.

The controversial free legal aid group is getting heavily scrutinized and obliterated by critics after our series of reports showing how HJP uses taxpayer dollars to bail out deadbeat tenants and serial squatters.

Elected Officials Silent

Last month, Bellevue mom & pop landlord Jaskaran Singh pressed elected officials including CM Claudia Balducci and State Sen. Patty Kuderer for help. But Dunn is the only one so far to publicly come out with a tangible proposal.

Only Scratching the Surface

I’ve only scratched the surface here with HJP. Its tentacles reach far and wide in Washington’s legal community. But a reckoning is coming. Any King County CM who votes against Dunn’s bill better have an alternative to help mom & pop landlords.

Discovery Reporting Could Lead to Change

HJP has been confronted in the past for questionable practices, but nothing really changed. This time it could be different due to the enormous public outrage and our accountability reporting at Discovery Institute.

Connections with Far-Left Progressive Politics

Quite a few HJP attorneys have connections to the region’s far-left activist network and progressive class.
