(The Center Square) - Although former Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes served only 18 months in office, he’s taking away a lucrative severance package worth around $700,000 as questions remain about his departure. The package is well in excess of his $370,000 yearly salary. While the package was first disclosed Friday night, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s office has refused to offer specific details, including just exactly where in the city budget the money will come from and how the figure was calculated. Wilson has also refused several times to disclose exactly why she asked for Barnes' resignation. As a new budget year approaches, Seattle is already facing a $175 million deficit, and city departments have been asked to propose personnel cuts. Dawn Schellenberg, the mayor’s interim communications director, and Sage Wilson, the mayor’s chief spokesman, did not respond to emails Monday regarding Wilson's decisions. The mayor's office did send a copy of Barnes' resignation and his severance agreement to The Center Square late Monday afternoon, but provided no other details or information. Barnes resigned last Thursday at the request of Wilson, who was upset with his performance in office, including how he handled communicating with the press and the public in the aftermath of a mass shooting at a food festival that left three people dead on July 26. Barnes' package includes a lump-sum payment equal to 18 months of his salary, which comes out to over $560,000. Barnes was one of the highest-paid police chiefs in the U.S. He will get a second lump sum equal to a year of COBRA coverage to continue his health insurance, worth about $30,000. Additionally, Barnes doesn’t have to repay a $50,000 hiring bonus for officers, aimed to help recruitment efforts. Normally, the money is paid back on a pro rata basis if an officer leaves before serving five years. Barnes also doesn’t have to give back a $60,000 relocation benefit. Barnes maintained an apartment in Seattle but had to defend himself last week against reports that he often left the city for conferences and to see his family, who remained in Chicago. Records released by the Seattle Police Department to The Center Square show that Barnes was out of town nearly a dozen times over a four-month period this year, including four trips to Chicago and seven work-related conferences. Members of the Seattle City Council had attacked Wilson last week for asking Barnes to resign, arguing that crime was down and that Barnes had been doing a good job. Council members Monday, however, didn’t respond to requests for comment on Barnes' severance package from The Center Square. A regularly scheduled council briefing, scheduled for Monday, when the issue could have come up, was canceled. Barnes first started as police chief under the administration of former Mayor Bruce Harrell in January 2025. Wilson beat Harrell by a narrow margin in November 2025. The next month, in December, before Wilson officially took office, she announced that Barnes would continue as police chief during her administration. Wilson said that communications breakdowns that occurred after the shooting were unacceptable, blaming herself and the police chief. Those breakdowns resulted in an approximate five-hour delay between a police department social media posting at 6:30 p.m. that a mass casualty event had occurred and a press conference held near 11 p.m. Wilson also said during Friday's press conference that she had "a window” into other issues at the police department but refused to elaborate. Barnes did not appear at the Sunday night press conference after the shooting because he was attending a law enforcement conference in Dallas. His absence highlighted his frequent travel away from Seattle. On Monday, during a second press conference, Barnes did appear but got into a shouting match with a reporter over how much time he spent in Seattle.

Montana Democratic Party leadership has received legal advice about its options should U.S. Senate nominee Alani Bankhead withdraw from the race. The state party’s executive board was briefed over the weekend that it cannot be forced to produce a replacement if Bankhead withdraws before the Aug. 10 deadline for having her name removed from the November ballot. The advice, solicited by party Chair Shannon O’Brien, was delivered by Washington D.C.-based Elias Law Group just days after Republican Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen suggested she could require the party to name a replacement.

(The Center Square) – California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, released the last four years of tax returns late last week, providing a glimpse into their financial life over the last four years of Newsom’s time in office. The couple’s annual finances remained relatively stable, with the exception of 2021, when they saw a bump in their income because of the sale of their Marin County house. In 2021, the Newsoms earned $3,558,085 in taxable income, with $417,816 coming from wages and salary. The first couple of California made $1,060,543 in capital gains, and their adjusted gross income was $4,207,113. Their total income that year was $4,210,160. They made additional income from rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, trusts and "S" corporations in the amount of $2,722,646. The "S" refers to a type of federal tax status for small businesses. Newsom also wrote a children’s book published in 2021, "Ben and Emma’s Big Hit." He made $20,386 in income from that book, according to his tax returns from 2021. The Newsoms also profited from the sale of their house in 2021, which they bought in November 2011. They sold it on May 24, 2021, making $763,794 from the sale. In 2022, the couple made $1,595,300 in taxable income. They also earned additional income of $1,294,469. Newsom made $1,204 in income from his children’s book published the year before. Siebel Newsom, who filed taxes that year as an actress and producer, reported $90 of gross profit. In 2023, the Newsoms reported a joint taxable income of $1,391,454 and additional income of $1,333,042. Newsom made $70,000 in gross profit from the sale of his children’s book, although net profit was reported as $51,000. Siebel Newsom reported $30 of income as an actress and producer that year. In 2024, the Newsoms reported $1,391,034 in taxable income, with additional income in the amount of $1,278,557. Newsom’s author income was $75,000 of gross profit and $8,500 in tentative net profit. California’s first couple previously released five years’ worth of tax returns when the governor ran for office in 2022, in line with California’s financial disclosure laws that require the governor to publicly report his sources of income, investments, gifts, business interests, property and other financial holdings every year. According to the California Department of Human Resources, which lists the annual salaries of state politicians, the governor’s 2026 salary is $245,929. Newsom’s salary in 2025 was $242,295, up from $234,101 in 2023. His salary in 2022 was $224,020, up from his 2021 salary of $218,556. Siebel Newsom does not receive a salary for her role as "first partner of California."
