Bremerton Navy vet drops lawsuit against Inslee over Capitol campus fences
Tyler Miller, a Navy veteran who works at the Trident Refit Facility at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, filed the case at the end of January. Thurston County Supreme Court Judge James Dixon dismissed the case without prejudice on Thursday at Miller’s request.
The lawsuit, which named both Gov. Jay Inslee and Department of Enterprise Services director Chris Liu as defendants, argued that closing the legislative building to the public violated the state’s constitution.
Miller said in an interview with the Kitsap Sun that he decided to drop the case when it became clear it wouldn’t be resolved before the Legislature adjourns at the end of April.
