Inslee’s order worrying

I am writing this letter as a citizen of the United States and a resident of Spokane. I am deeply concerned about the safety of the residents and police force of Washington state upon Gov. Inslee’s executive order for Washington State Patrol and other state agencies to not comply with President Trump and his administration’s federal immigration law.

I am also concerned about the needs of our state should all federal funding be denied our state because of lack of following the laws of the United States of America. When such serious decisions are being made, the voting population ought to be allowed to decide upon this type of executive order.
