Rep. Travis Couture praises the power of the people's initiative before his "yes" vote on I-2113

good member from the 35th legislative district representative Couture thank you Mr Speaker rising in full support proud support of this initiative Mr Speaker it wasn't too long ago where a man a criminal stole a vehicle and transcended multiple counties including two of the counties in my district and every time he crossed a county line the police could not pursue him he ended up going through Mason County the cops could not pursue he ended up in Kitsap County the cops could not pursue he went the wrong way down Highway 16 in a head-on collision I'll let you think about what happened with that Mr Speaker sadly these stories come too often since the grave error of what was passed in 2021 and today Mr Speaker we have an opportunity to end that error an opportunity to restore Public Safety an opportunity to stop the rising crime an opportunity to back our brave men and women in law enforcement so that they can do the job that they signed up for not to get rich and not to to be safe but to keep us safe so that our constituents can be safe and finally Mr Speaker I'm proud that we live in a state where the people of our state have more power than anyone under this Dome and that over 400,000 of them can sign on the dotted line and make us listen please vote yes
