A tip of the hat to AP’s Rachel La Corte for her story on Lt. Gov. Brad Owen’s admonishment of Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn.
You can read the piece here.
Attached is the four-page letter Owen sent to Roach detailing what he described as her “Indecorous and Inappropriate Conduct” as chairwoman of the Senate Government Operations and State Security Committee.
Owen also directed Republican Sen. Kirk Pearson of Monroe to be present during all meetings involving Roach and committee staff.
Owen said late today that he penned the missive after conversations with Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, and Senate Minority Leader Sharon Nelson, D-Maury Island. He said he has not spoken with Roach since sending her the letter.
Roach told La Corte late Monday she had not read the letter in its entirety
”I am a fair chair,” she said. “I am a tough chair.”
