Dean Logan's Last Town Hall Meeting
Tonight appears to be Dean Logan's last town hall meeting for a while:
Seattle First Baptist Church
Thursday, April 14 at 7 p.m.
1111 Harvard Ave.
Seattle, WA 98122
The League of Women Voters
originally scheduled two more such town hall meetings (April 20 in Tukwila and May 3 in Federal Way), but Logan cancelled them, presumably because
they haven't turned out to be the positive publicity stunts he might have been hoping for.
Tonight may well be your last chance to confront Dean Logan in public for a while. Be there to press him on some of the questions that he refused to answer the other night in Shoreline, such as: "how many absentee ballots were actually returned?", "how can you certify the election when you can't answer such a basic question?"

1. Ask him if he plans on ducking the questions during deposition, or on the stand at trial.
2. That's Plague of Women Voters
3. I attended the protest organized yesterday by the CAO group in front of the 34th District Democratic event in which Ron Sims was the "guest speaker". After Sims had to maneuver through a sea of orange clad protestors holding signs to get to the door, (and one very large orange banner reading "Ron Sims King County Grievance Tour" hanging from a white mini-van) we put our signs away and went into the meeting to hear what Sims had to say. No surprise-he continued to stand by Dean Logan, saying that he had put together this fabulous commission to investigate, but that he felt the problems had been dealt with by the termination of "some empolyees." He also continues to say their are "no systemic" problems with the King County Elections system. He spoke for all of 15 minutes, and then took some what appeared to be "staged" questions from the audience. He did appear to be "distracted" by the sea of orange ribbon clad protestors that stood quietly in the back of the room as a reminder of his complete and utter failures with the election issue, the CAO, tent cities, and so many others. About two weeks ago Logan had the same League of Women voters event in Issaquah and this same group of CAO protestors turned out for that, also wearing orange, and asking the tough questions, which again he avoided answering. Hope he feels the heat again at this event!
4. Hooray for the orange-clad folk!
5. Mimi,
Someone should find some of those "terminated employees" and see what they know.
6. When did they go from "paid leave" to just plain fired??
7. If those employees have been terminated (and I doubt that they have), then they'll likely sue the county for "wrongful termination."
Chris(tine) Gregoire has experience in this area as she wrongfully terminated an employee and then her office was sued by the former employee.
