If THAT headline doesn’t get you all hot-n-bothered, I don’t know what will.
Anyway, the Center for Public Integrity took a look at the former WA gov’s financial disclosure documents, and (thankfully for Obama) they’re pretty boring. Locke owns stock worth nearly half a million dollars in companies including Amgen, Costco, Starbucks, and WaMu. Scour the whole thing for yourself (PDF) here.
WAMU?
What global giant corporations did he represent at Davis Wright? Who’re their clients? That’s the list we want to see.
It’s precious that they’re all local stocks, too
I’m happy for him/us
go Locke
So if it’s half a million now, it was probably almost a million just a short while ago, right?
Boring or not he is a steady-going worker and we don’t need dramatic Commerce Secretaries. He was treated like a rock star when he visited China while governor, which won’t hurt our relationship with them..
He doesn’t own stock worth anything in WaMu, because WuMu stock is (without exageration) worth nothing.
