Legal doubt fuels bid for special session to repeal new criminal code
Olympia reports serious talk of a special legislative session to repeal the new criminal code unless the state supreme court acts quickly and upholds validity. Law officers fear many prosecutions since enactment could be overturned and cases may have to be retried if the code is struck down. The main challenge targets the code’s title and express expression of its content. Harriman lines to enter Seattle rail service begin January 1 under a UP and NP agreement. Seattle Tacoma trackage includes UP ownership of a Milwaukee line segment.
