Rossi/BIAW Buildergate, Illegal Funds Scandal

→
Evidence has emerged that Dino Rossi was involved in the BIAW's illegal fundraising. Rossi claims he did nothing wrong, citing the fact that he hadn't declared his candidacy when he was working with the BIAW to raise funds to attack Governor Gregiore.

Both Dino Rossi and the BIAW have tried to maneuver their way around our States political campaign laws. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. And, especially, they shouldn't be allowed to put off investigation until after the election.

To get a legitimate investigation of the Buildergate scandal, we need to have a Special Prosecutor appointed. The compelling reason for a Special Prosecutor is that our current State Attorney General, Rob McKenna, has ties to the BIAW. The BIAW supported McKenna's re-election.

Read BUILDERGATE: Illegal Rossi Fundraising and then sign the petition to the Attorney General. Demand a real investigation before the election, not a slap on the wrist after the harm is done.
