Does a transition team ever get credit for doing a good job, or only blamed for doing a bad job? Or is it kind of a neutral thing that looks good on a resume, regardless?

Two things:
Brad Smith contributed $1800 to Inslee's campaign (the max $1600 in the primary, $200 in the general). But he was a double-max for McKenna ($1600 in both primary and general). All of those checks were written in 2011 (July 18 to Rob, August 25 to Jay).
I can (sort of) see paying MS's lawyer and WSU's President $250K-plus, but Renton's School Superintendent? Nothing against Renton, but really???
