Prioritizing Drug Addiction Over Children

What an absolute disgrace and public safety crisis unfolding outside Seattle’s Dr. Jose Rizal Park.

I watched more than 20 Beacon Hill International Elementary School kids dodge fentanyl foil and homeless drug addicts as they walked home Monday afternoon.

One parent says Seattle Public Schools refuses to provide school buses since they are dealing with a budget crisis.

Meanwhile, less than a week after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson announced her new plan to address homelessness, her streets are covered with service resistant drug addicts because they are all refusing shelter and services.
