| from RPope98155 [a*t] aol.com date Mar 16, 2007 8:29 PM subject PDC to Recommend that Rob McKenna Sue KCGOP for Numerous Violations Looks like Rob McKenna is going to be given the opportunity to sue the King County Republican Party over their numerous and egregious PDC reporting violations: http://www.pdc.wa.gov/archive/commissionmeetings/meetingshearings/pdfs/2007/KCRCC.07.054.03.22.07.pdf The PDC enforcement staff is recommending that the matter being turned over to the Attorney General for a civil lawsuit, since the $4,000 or so fine that the PDC can impose in an administrative enforcement hearing is insufficient for violations of this magnitude. The Public Disclosure Commission is scheduled to vote on this recommendation at 1:00 p.m. on March 22, 2007, in the afternoon session of its next meeting: http://www.pdc.wa.gov/archive/commissionmeetings/meetingshearings/pdfs/2007/Agenda.03.22.07.pdf Rob McKenna needs to exercise some professional ethics, and recuse the State Attorney General’s office from this case, and hire outside counsel. In a letter of November 17, 2006, Rob McKenna endorsed the re-election of Michael Young as King County GOP Chair and Lori Sotelo as King County GOP Vice-Chair -- the same morons who managed to screw up the PDC reporting in the first place and continued to screw it up even further after I pointed the problems (to date) to them back in August 2006. Rob McKenna needs to hire outside counsel. There is a conflict of interest here. How can McKenna be impartial in enforcing the law against the very people whom he endorsed for re-election? -- Richard Pope 425-747-4463 ** Young endorsement ( jpg image ) |
