I just read that Sen. Maria Cantwell received $50,000 from lobbyists in 2001 (“Group says Cantwell cashed in on lobbyists,” news story, Jan. 15). Isn’t she the candidate who wouldn’t take any contributions from lobbyists and would use her own money? Now after winning the election, she is having fund-raisers to get her money back. Now we are stuck with a rookie senator rather than a senator with seniority who did a lot for our state. What a con artist. I would label her as a liar and a hypocrite.
