"If approved, retail sales taxes throughout the county would increase by 0.2%, or two cents on every $10 in purchases. Funds would be used to improve law enforcement and prosecution services as the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office is currently struggling to keep up with public safety demands, said Sheriff Derek Sanders."
Seems to me this is the opposite of defunding the police. I normally oppose any additional taxes, but this I'll vote for this. How else are additional monies directed to law enforcement if not by a ballot measure proposed by the city government? A collection box on each street corner?
