Seattle Councilmember Tim Burgess Issues Update On Homeless Encampment Actions
This week, Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess (elected at-large) sent out a follow-up e-mail and blog post on an ordinance introduced to the Council (by Councilmember Mike O’Brien, of District #6) that would create a right to camp on public property for indefinite periods of time. Councilmember Burgess opposed the introduction of the legislation, and has asked citizens to engage in discussion about this issue and the proposed new law.
