WATCH LIVE: King County Council to vote on behavioral health levy

The special meeting of theKing County Council to vote on behavioral health levy

King County leaders will vote on a property tax levy that would help expand behavioral health access. This tax levy will cost homeowners $121 a year starting in 2024 for a median-priced home of $694,000. If passed, the county expects to raise $1.25 billion dollars over 9 years. King County Executive Dow Constantine says that the money would create crisis care centers and preserve residential treatments

"This is not limited to those extreme cases we see out on our streets," said Constantine. "It is throughout our communities, and a compassionate response – a humane response is to provide the help people need."

Haunted by mentalillness it’s so sad can’t get out of the everyday haunting regret sadness my kids Dad died after being on the streets we were powerless. Police were powerless. Nobody is at fault just how do we deal with it? Pass a law to do what?

Stop with the tax insanity! Jeez

Big NO.

Not another penny for these crooks. 'behavioral health' in their version is enabling homelessness and crime making sure revolving door in kc courts continue. Drug use/trade will now be a behavioral health issue with no consequences, financed by our $$

How bout some investigative reporting into the corruption of thieves like Dow?

Why should we trust Dow?

We need the VOTERS to vote for it. Not the council and their special interest lobbyists.
