Show Notes
Bob Wests decades-long fight for justice culminated in a new Washington state law, signed by Governor Bob Ferguson, which enhances penalties for threatening or attacking sports officials and referees. The bill, supported by both the Senate and House, makes it a gross misdemeanor to harass officials at school events, with potential fines and jail time. West, who was severely injured in a 1993 assault, now advocates for warning signs at venues to ensure safer games.
