Harger: King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson is accused of stalking his ex. He wears an ankle monitor to work. He still won’t resign

King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson, who oversees property tax valuations affecting 2.3 million residents including Burien, has been charged with stalking and violating a no-contact order against his former fiancée. He wears a court-ordered GPS ankle monitor with a 1,000-foot exclusion zone and has pleaded not guilty. The King County Council unanimously demanded his resignation twice—most recently last month—but Wilson has refused, saying the push is politically motivated. A trial date is pending.
