CEO of King County Regional Homelessness Authority Resigns Amid Controversy.
TL;DR
A Washington official defended a convicted sex offender's nomination to a homelessness board, leading to a heated exchange with a fellow board member who objected to the nomination. Shanee Colston, co-chair of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority Continuum of Care Advisory Committee, defended Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot's nomination, saying she was "glad" he was there. Kristina Sawyckyj, a board member and sexual assault survivor, raised concerns about Whitaker's nomination, citing a "bad experience" with him in the past. Colston condemned Sawyckyj's comments and has since been asked to resign by the KCRHA chief program officer.
