Buying the Courts
The Olympia Master Builders has committed over $100,000 to buy a seat on the Thurston County Commission and to pass the outrageous Initiative 933. Statewide the Builders Industry Assn. of Washington has committed $1,000,000 to buy one or more seats on the Washington Supreme Court.
But, the media ads don't say where the money comes from because both the local and state land developers and builders groups have created several PACs with nice sounding names like Time For a Change and Thurston County for Affordable Housing.
Don’t be fooled, it’s unlikely we will get anything affordable from these folks!
