The long, slow, painful meltdown of the Christine Gregoire for Governor campaign accelerated today as Attorney General Gregoire's office has failed to settle the lawsuit of the former AG staffer who claims she was unfairly scapegoated and wrongfully terminated to cover-up Gregoire's mismanagement and failure to appeal an $18 million judgment against the state.
The federal lawsuit filed by former assistant attorney general Janet Capps, alleging civil-rights violations, wrongful termination and defamation, will proceed to trial this July, according to attorneys representing Capps and Gregoire.It promises to be a long, hot July for Gregoire. Hot enough to melt a campaign. Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at April 28, 2004 11:57 AM
