Seattle Mayor Wilson claimed her 'Gun Violence Prevention Plan' was
endorsed by King County Prosecutor Leesa Manion. Except that turns out
to be a lie.
"KCPAO spokesperson Casey McNerthney said the office was not given a
full copy of the plan before its rollout, and that Prosecuting Attorney
Leesa Manion and her staff first learned about it by watching the
announcement on television.
...The mayorrCOs office later told KIRO Newsradio KCPAO had provided
quotes supporting the plan when KCPAO said they did not."
What actually happened was Community Assisted Response and Engagement
Chief Amy Barden asked King County Prosecutor Manion for a quote
endorsing CARE. "Manion agreed with the stipulation that her quote not
be edited and be shared in full."
CARE Chief Barden then gave Manion's quote about CARE to the Mayor's
Office, who then used it as an endorsement of Wilson's entire gun
violence plan:

As if that wasn't bad enough; the Mayor also claimed to have the support
of the US Attorney's Office. That too turned out to be a lie with the
office saying:
rCLThe U.S. AttorneyrCOs Office did not get a draft of the plan in advance, nor were we asked to provide a quote.rCY
Future 42 has seen (and exposed) a lot of corruption and dishonesty in
our state and local governments, but this is unreal.
