King Co. Attorney Race: Satterberg Accepts Huge Sums of Dirty GOP Money
[Note: Also see later stories: Should the election of Dan Satterberg be Voided? and PDC Complaint on Republican Cash Transfers to Satterberg]
Dan Satterberg, the Republican candidate for King County Prosecuting Attorney is a deep disappointment.
Big, last-minute sums of cash -- in apparent violation of state law -- have flowed through the state Republican Party and into his campaign. Some of these donations, for example, one for $10,000 from a county deputy prosecuting attorney, are from people Satterberg pledged he would not accept funds from: employees of the office that he seeks election to. One of them, for $5,000, is from the CEO of a construction company that Satterberg "helped" back in the 1990s by dismissing criminal charges against that company -- over the protests of the prosecutor in his office who believed she could get convictions. The alleged crimes? Intentionally allowing asbestos dust to blow through the vents of a hospital maternity ward. I wrote about that sorry episode here: Breathing Rights, Voting Rights and the King Co Prosecuting Attorney Race. See over the fold for Democratic candidate Bill Sherman's response.
From the Bill Sherman Campaign:
Massive Cash Transfers from Republican Party to Dan Satterberg Violate Campaign Contribution Limits and Expose Satterberg's Partisan Ties
