No one I've heard has ever called Pridemore "Stupid." Misguided? Wrong on the issues? Political hack? Opportunist?
Yeah... all of those. But not "Stupid."
The Dems are going to have to lay (and waste) $3100 down on the counter to play. And that means there's going to be 3 dem candidates on the ballot with the survivor to lose to the Republican in November
In fact, if Stuart were to resign today... right now... it wouldn't make any difference. Candidates get 3 days from the close of filing (May 16) to withdraw. (RCW 29A.24.131) And I guarantee you that no appointment will be made before or inside that window. The 60 day period from today would be, well, May 24.
Of course, Stuart won't resign now... her doesn't want to sign up for Obamacare, so he wants to leave one job where the taxpayers pay the lion's share of his health care and then hop right into the next... where the taxpayers pay the lion's share of his health care.
The irony, of course, is that since any democrat the downtown mafia runs will have been a CRC Scammer, it really won't matter who they run in November: they will lose. That, of course, is likely to speed up the process for Madore's hated-by-CRC-Scammers East County Bridge.. not to mention strengthening the County's ability to veto BRT on 4th Plain.
Yeah... all of those. But not "Stupid."

That's one interestign[sic] question, Lou. Consider this one, thinking not about "aho" [sic] but "when". If Steve Stuart doesn't vacate the office until April 11th, commissioners will have until June 10th to make an appointment. If they delay it until then (and why wouldn't they?), filing week is the second week in May and the filing fee is $1,062. Any candidate wanting to run in November will have to pay that (or play the long-shot write-in effort), not knowing if they'll even be running. Further, if all three who are at least on the D's list file and pay the fee, will they be able to withdraw in time to get their names off the ballot if they're not appointed? (I've asked Greg Kimsey about that one.) From a purely disinterested party ;-), the opportunities to "play" this appointment are pretty interesting.

"...the opportunities to "play" this appointment are pretty interesting."That they are. And Madore and Mielke should play them all.
