3. We want him GONE!!!!
Oh good grief.

I live in Spokane. We are desperate to remove him from office. He appointed a young (19 years old) man who he met on-line to the city's Human Rights Commission. Then, he offered the young man $300 to go swimming with him,naked. The young man felt that he was constantly being sexually harassed, and resigned. However, I believe that he kept at least some chat logs. He has filed an official complaint with the State of Washington.

Also, tonight our City Council will vote on a resolution calling on the Mayor to resign. It is expected to pass unanimously. Council members who have seen the e-mails that the Mayor referred to state that the only messages of support usually simply say that the sender is praying for the mayor. Believe me, this town does not want him to stay.

Interestingly, this right wing, fiscal conservative Mayor is allegedly refusing to resign so that his pension will be based on his two years as Mayor....I believe would receive at least 60% of his $135,000 salary. If he resigns or is removed from office earlier, his pension will be lower. He was treated for cancer recently, and wants to keep his health benefits.

When he was Majority Leader of our State's Senate, he repeatedly voted against providing health benefits and pensions for other workers.

Another Republican hypocrite.
