Has died. The former interim King County Assessor, Richard Medved was running to replace his former boss (who was convicted of felony drunk driving) when he had a stroke on July 14. He passed away this morning. In a statement released this afternoon, King County Council Chair Dow Constantine said Medved, who served for six years as the county’s chief deputy assessor, was “a steadying force within the office.”
Bob Rosenberger, an appraiser in the office for 24 years, is now running for the seat.
Woah.
Is that seat cursed?
If I wasn’t so scared, trapped as I am in a balloon with the President of the Chamber of Commerce, about him letting out the air since he doesn’t think global warming will be impacted by it, this would really concern me.
Good thing I already voted for Rosenberger last week.
That’s sad news. These are the kinds of public servants that we forget about – the guys who show up and do their work, and step up when asked. And what do they get? I hope his surviving family gets a fat check from his retirement.
@2 – yeah. Condolences.
“Is that seat cursed?”
I hope so…..
@4 – why do you hate America and our form of government? are you one of those neocons from Soviet Russia?
