The Seattle Firefighters Local 27 PAC is sending a mail piece out on behalf of Jessie Israel this week, at the very serious price of $10,000. I am still waiting on a call back from the firefighters to hear about their motivation behind the piece.

Any independent expenditure of more than $1000 in the final 21 days of an election must be reported as it happens, and this is the first of its kind so far this cycle. The firefighters endorsed Israel for city council position 6 two weeks ago. They also endorsed Sally Bagshaw for position 4.
