Following a decisive win last fall for citywide Position 9, City Councilmember Dionne Foster joins us to talk about how she intends to fulfill her campaign promises amid Seattle’s mounting fiscal challenges.
Councilmember Foster, who chairs the Housing, Arts and Civil Rights Committee, outlines some of her priorities including housing affordability. We also get into her more progressive approach to the homelessness crisis, in which she emphasizs the need for more shelter capacity—such as tiny home villages—over encampment removals.
Foster also tells us why she has "no intent on working on repeal" of the public drug use and possession law championed by her opponent Sara Nelson, and why she believes city surveillance cameras should be "turned off and come down."
