Gov. Inslee, your time is up

PASCO — Gov. Jay Inslee's time has expired, at least in Franklin County.

Five minutes into the county commissioners’ 9 a.m. meeting today, April 21, commissioners voted unanimously to reject provisions under Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay-home quarantine order.

Commissioner Clint Didier moved to reopen the county; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Brad Peck.

“I move that Franklin County end recognition of the governor’s stay-at-home emergency proclamation that is now deemed unconstitutional,” Didier said. “We support the reopening for all builders and small businesses that want to work.”
