Sydney, I applaud your thorough muckraking (as always--you and Ansel are holding this paper up by yourselves IMO), but I'm not sure how effective these associations are. Hardcore liberals already have plenty of reasons to dislike professional douchebag Bill Bryant, and I'm not sure who is going to be swayed by this. It's hard to associate donors with their donees since pols cast a wide net when fundraising. The association with the proposed Cherry Point terminal is more directly damning, but then again the pro-business wing may well approve.

Worse than you know

The port strike cost exporters millions, what was Bill's role?

@3: What are you talking about? There hasn't been a strike at the Port of Seattle since 1971.

His challenge is to appear moderate to Puget Sound voters while dog-whistling his real values to the GOP base. It's the same strategy McKenna tried and it's not likely to work for Bryant either.

About half the Trump lawn signs in Snohomish county are accompanied by a Bryant sign. (unscientific survey based on places I drive by to go fishing)

If you are a WA politician and hate light rail, please leave. Tia.

$2,000.00 - $6800.00? Hardly "Koch Brothers" type of donations. The guy sounds very honest if this is all you can find.
