Former legislators call for further investigation of White

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

A bi-partisan group of former legislators and candidates wrote a letter to the King County Prosecuting Attorney Friday calling for a further investigation into the King County ethics breach by Scott White (D-Seattle).

White was recently found in violation of the King County ethics code for doing campaign work on county computers while he was an employee at the Department of Transportation. White claims that it was a mistake stemming from a synched telephone, but an independent technology expert hired by the county debunked White's claims.
