More revelations of foul play surrounding Washington Attorney General/gubernatorial candidate Christine Gregoire:
A review billed as an independent investigation of Attorney General Christine Gregoire's office in 2000 was rewritten to downplay broad management problems at the urging of Gregoire's top deputies.Another black mark against Gregoire, who has recently supported government secrecy in two separate high-profile Public Disclosure Act cases (here and here). Gregoire has also violated campaign finance laws.Internal documents show the investigation — begun after Gregoire's staff missed a deadline to appeal a record $17.8 million verdict against the state — was redirected to focus more blame on one attorney who later was forced to resign.
With that kind of execrable track record, who could possibly want Gregoire to be their governor? The Washington Education Association. "For the children", no doubt.
