SCOTUS Okays Liability for Unintentional Housing Discrimination
Stop calling it fair housing law. If it was ever a matter of fairness, it isn’t now. Under today’s 5-4 Supreme Court holding in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, you can be held liable for housing discrimination whether or not you or anyone in your organization intended to discriminate. Instead — to quote Justice Anthony Kennedy, who joined with the Court’s four liberals in a 5-4 majority — you might have been influenced by “unconscious prejudice” or “stereotyping” when you lent money or rented apartments or carried on appraisal or brokerage or planning functions.

Supreme Court upholds provisions of Obama health care law
The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the nationwide tax subsidies under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, in a ruling that preserves health insurance for millions of Americans. The justices said in a 6-3 ruling that the subsidies that 8.7 million people currently receive to make insurance affordable do not depend on where they live, under the 2010 health care law.

Three entities are competing to build a new psychiatric hospital in Spokane County that will help address a statewide shortage of inpatient mental health services. Providence Health Care submitted an application for a 100-bed free-standing hospital with the Washington Department of Health earlier this month, following the submission of two other applications from for-profit companies in May.

Both are asking for approval to build 72-bed psych hospitals.
Sprague teen pleads guilty to kidnapping toddler
The 15-year-old accused of grabbing a toddler from a park in Sprague, Washington, earlier this year pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge of second-degree kidnapping. Lincoln County Deputy Prosecutor Melvin Hoit argued there were aggravating circumstances that justified an exceptional sentence of 56-70 weeks in juvenile detention instead of the standard range of 15-36 weeks.

As S.C. honors victims, Alabama lowers flags
State senator and pastor Clementa Pinckney was carried Wednesday into the Statehouse where he served the people for nearly 20 years, becoming the first African-American since Reconstruction to rest in honor in the South Carolina Rotunda. In state after state, the Confederate symbols embraced by the shooting suspect have suddenly come under official disrepute. Gov. Nikki Haley started the groundswell Monday by calling on South Carolina lawmakers to debate taking down the Confederate battle flag flying in front of the Statehouse. But Alabama’s governor was able to act much more swiftly, issuing an executive order that brought down four secessionist flags on Wednesday.

Obama gets win on trade
In a triumph of divided government, the Republican-controlled Congress passed major trade legislation Wednesday that was long-sought by President Barack Obama but vehemently opposed by most lawmakers in his party. The measure to strengthen Obama’s hand in global trade talks cleared the Senate on a vote of 60-38, and will go to the White House for his signature – less than two weeks after it was temporarily derailed in the House in an uprising of Democratic lawmakers who argued it would cost American jobs.

License plate profiling lawsuit dropped
A discrimination case against the Idaho State Police for targeting a driver for a marijuana search because his license plates were from Colorado has been dismissed at the request of both sides. That means the court won’t weigh in on license-plate profiling in this case. But a legal expert said Darien Roseen’s lawsuit, the release of the state trooper’s dash-cam video under the Idaho Public Records Law, and the subsequent national attention it drew helped shine a light on the practice and may cause law enforcement agencies to stick to “more traditional probable cause or observed infraction findings.” “The lawsuit may have served its purpose without going to conclusion,” said David Leroy, former Idaho attorney general and now a Boise defense attorney.

In brief: Dominguez resigns from police panel
The last of three Spokane police oversight committee members targeted in a disputed whistleblower investigation has resigned. Adrian Dominguez, who last week asked for extra time to respond to the investigative findings, decided against addressing the Spokane City Council in person and submitted his resignation Wednesday. The Ombudsman Commission’s chairwoman, Rachel Dolezal, was removed by the council last Thursday and commissioner Kevin Berkompas complied with requests to immediately resign even though he describes the investigation as a sham. Dominguez also remains critical of the investigation: “This process has been anything but fair and just,” he wrote in his letter of resignation.
Family files suit in man’s death
The family of a man killed in a confrontation with Spokane County sheriff’s deputies at a Moran Prairie gym in June 2013 have filed a lawsuit seeking $20 million in damages. Will Berger died after he was shocked with a Taser and placed in a neck hold by Deputy Shawn Audie near the fitness center at 5501 S. Regal St. on June 6, 2013. Prosecutors cleared Audie of criminal charges in July 2014, and an independent civilian advisory board cleared deputies of wrongdoing earlier this summer. The lawsuit was filed by Berger’s brother and sister-in-law in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Washington. It alleges Audie and fellow Deputy Steve Paynter violated Berger’s civil rights by using excessive force.
Bill calls for prison after fourth DUI
A driver guilty of a fourth driving under the influence charge could face prison time under a bill that passed the Senate unanimously on Wednesday. For the third time this year, the Senate approved Spokane Valley Republican Mike Padden’s proposal to strengthen the state’s DUI law, which now only allows a felony charge for the fifth offense. Statistics Padden quoted from Mothers Against Drunk Driving showed that of the 46 states that allow felony charges for drunken or drugged driving, only Washington waits for a fifth offense.
Senate OKs money for drought relief
Washington would set aside $18 million over the next two years to help communities and residents fight drought, under a bill the Senate passed unanimously Wednesday. The state Department of Ecology would have $14 million from the general fund for its emergency drought response which could include securing water for farmers whose water rights are too junior to get adequate supplies. The bill, sent to the House on a 44-0 vote, sets aside another $4 million in the capital budget, which could be used for projects including help for cities that need deeper wells because of dropping water tables or for diversion projects for migrating fish.
Suspect in killing faces another trial
A man who had his murder conviction overturned by the Washington Court of Appeals on a technicality appeared in court Wednesday as prosecutors prepare to retry the case. Ben A.

A woman is facing a criminal charge of filing a false police report after claiming to find a box of eight abandoned puppies in Corbin Park near Post Falls last week.

Three plead guilty in gun, drug, prostitution ring
Three men have pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges after investigators uncovered a drug, gun and prostitution ring running between Spokane and Missoula. Frederick G.

Johnson and Reeves, both of Spokane, face at least five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to charges of drug conspiracy and racketeering.
Wife arrested in Spokane Valley man’s beating
A Spokane Valley woman and her mother allegedly recruited four men to beat up the woman’s husband and steal his belongings. Richard Pollard, 57, told Spokane County sheriff’s deputies that the group beat him with baseball bats, a hammer, a stick and a phone before raiding his home and attempting to steal his car on May 22, according to court records. His wife, Randi Boulet, 26, was arrested Monday and booked into the Spokane County Jail. She was released the next day on a $30,000 bond.
Olympia officer who shot two was reprimanded in prior years
Olympia police Officer Ryan Donald – under scrutiny since shooting two suspects in May – has been reprimanded during his three-year career with the department, including in 2013 when supervisors wrote in a memo that Donald put himself in situations in which using force would become necessary. A written warning from November 2012 also shows that Donald once arrested the wrong person. But records from Donald’s personnel file also include commendations painting a picture of a dedicated officer who supervisors say has a strong work ethic and commitment to the job – especially in the past year.
Senate OKs bill to remove alcohol monitoring cost limits
Defendants would pay the full cost of pretrial drug and alcohol monitoring under a bill passed by the Senate that removes a price cap for such oversight. The Senate passed Senate Bill 6134 on a 41-3 vote Wednesday, and the measure now heads to the House. The bill comes following a unanimous Washington Supreme Court ruling earlier this month that found the costs of pretrial electronic alcohol monitoring ordered by a trial court cannot exceed the $150 limit that is set in statute for pretrial supervision.
