Why is Snohomish County hindsight better than its foresight?
They certainly must have known that former planning director Craig Ladiser resigned from a management job with the city of Bothell in the mid-1980s amid allegations of inappropriate sexual comments.
Why was he hired by Snohomish County at a salary of $12,500 per month when they had knowledge of his inappropriate conduct?
Furthermore, why did Ladiser’s attorney secure another attorney who questioned Ladiser’s conduct? Snohomish County hired the second attorney whose investigation cost us taxpayers $12,000.
I would not want to be a politician or a lawyer for two reasons: Both too often lie in order to preserve their high salary. Too many lawyers lie in order to win a case. Too many politicians lie in order to get re-elected.
