Councilmembers,
I am writing in opposition to the proposed legislation AB-2766. This proposed legislation specifically
targets a minority small business owner who is simply helping out King County and the most vulnerable
homeless population. Mr. Bath has been discriminated against and made to feel like the enemy by local
community leaders and business leaders.
Mr. Bath is a leader in Renton’s local Sikh community and mentors young people and other
entrepreneurs. Mr. Bath’s faith instructs him to constantly give to others in need, regardless of their
financial or other circumstance. This is the reason he has organized weekly food drives in local Sikh
temples during this COVID-19 crisis.See https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/seattle-area-sikh-
