Christine Gregoire

edit

The funding section of article includes "In late 2011 Washington governor Christine Gregoire released a budget proposal stripping all state funding for domestic violence and women's shelters across Washington State.", BUT checking the sole reference seems to mention Gregoire only once (about her signing sentencing House Bill 2777 into law), with word-search getting no match for "budget" nor "funding", one match for "fund" (re UNICEF), and main instance of "2011" is "new sentencing structure becomes effective in August 2011". Also, i did some Google News searches and could find no news source(s) for the accusation. Did regular Google searches for less time and the top matches just seemed to be pages copy-pasting the Wikipedia article (EDIT: except with dispute templates stripped out and some with references stripped out). The ref (Seattle University Law Review) is cool, and maybe should be used elsewhere in article. (just NOT for this possibly libelous text about Gregoire) --EarthFurst (talk) 21:54, 19 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Closest I've found so far is https://lihi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/housingwashingtonmarch2009.pdf (PAGE 3) with a Gregoire proposed budget released in 2008 with eliminating some programs and reduced funding to others, BUT i see no mention of women's shelters. --EarthFurst (talk) 23:44, 19 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

The source for Haven House being the fist ever shelter does not support the claim

edit

I'm not a wiki editor and don't want to try and fix it, however the source provided (53) does not support the claim it was the first ever shelter or that it was founded in 1964. 2600:1700:6D20:9B10:94C2:7A12:5D75:91A (talk) 04:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
