Seattle Schools Community Forum: High-Roller PAC Seeks to Oust Supreme Court Justices

Seattle Schools Community Forum: High-Roller PAC Seeks to Oust Supreme Court Justices:

High-Roller PAC Seeks to Oust Supreme Court Justices



I had heard about this PAC on the radio, Citizens for Working Courts Enterprise, WA.  Apparently, they are seeking to defeat Justice Charles Wiggins over decisions they believe hurt business. 

However, you look at the list of names and I see ed reformers in there.

Much of the news around the campaigns for the three justices up for re-election - Yu, Wiggins and Madsen - has been the decisions on McCleary and on charter schools. 

Who's in this PAC?

- Vulcan, Inc. $300K
- Bill Gates $200K
- Connie Ballmer $12,500K
- Steve Ballmer $12,500K
- Building Industry Assn of Washington $10K
- Bradford Smith $7K
- Kathryn Surace-Smith $7K
- Washington State Tree Fruit Assn. $1K

For a total of $550,000.
