'Not an ethics violation' to use tax dollars for propaganda

[TechnoWeenie]

The Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission says Councilmember Kshama Sawant did not commit a violation when she used a city copier to make posters for a rally.

The signed report, released Wednesday, says Sawant and her staff made "thousands" of copies of signs and flyers to wave at the May 12 rally to support the employee hours tax or head tax.

The EEC letter says there "several complaints" about the action. Councilmember Sally Bagshaw was the first to openly criticize Sawant's action.

But Wayne Barnett, executive director of the Commission, wrote that "Councilmember Sawant was, however acting within the scope of her authority when she determined that the rally was a tool she could use to advance her position in support of the EHT."

"I conclude only that Councilmember Sawant's use of City time and equipment did not violate the Ethics Code," Barnett added in dismissing the complaint. "I make no judgment as to whether the use was prudent."

How in the world did this piece of slime ever get into the country in the first place, let alone be allowed to stay here.
Since she like Communism so much she really should retire to Russia or China or North Korea. There she could fit right in.

She is part of the Plague that is infecting the United States....and the Libs embrace it. Communism doesn't work.....Neither does Religious fanaticism
We can only hope the 7 Council seats up for re-election will change to more level headed people, though i don't have much hope for that.

Seattle is lost...along with King County and the the State Government. I feel for the good Washington state people on the East side of the Mountains, they have no real power in this State.
