Expenditure(s) of the Day
Well, now we know what the chemical industry did with (the last of) that $1.4 million.
Reports filed with the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission today show that the chemical-industry-funded anti-bag-fee campaign spent nearly $80,000 in the last month. Here's some of what they spent it on.
• $3,000 on air fare for D.C.-based consultant Michael Yaeger, who did a last minute "get-out-the-vote" effort for the campaign;
• $6,400 to a California-based media firm for radio ads opposing the 20-cent fee;
• More than $1,200 for three nights' accommodation for D.C.-based consultant Gerald Gunster;
• Nearly $37,o00 to direct-mail and marketing consultant Michael D. Meyers, for mailings, door hangers, voter research and robo-calls in opposition to the proposal; and
• More than $20,000 to Kirkland attorney Jack Burns, the treasurer for the campaign, who is best known as an attorney for the Deja Vu strip clubs.
