OK folks. Is the S-R’s endorsement a surprise to anyone even though the owners are somewhat conservative? Yes, Murray has brought the bacon home, but just who was benefiting?
The S-R is wielded by its owners to support those that have benefited them. See this excerpt from an email I just sent to the Board of Accountancy investigator that handled my complaint involving Gavin Cooley’s misuse of the title CPA:
“… I would have needed a prosecutor willing to stick their neck out a little same as you would too. With what I know of Steve Tucker, Spokane Co. Prosecutor and AG Rob McKenna (Asst. AG Marlow’s apparently now on ice*) this was not likely. The Cowleses will act to protect those who have done them favors, Tucker, Murray, Ormsby, Siddoway (Now a WA appellate court judge), Steve Rector, their secretary/treasurer, and Cooley and others. The S-R has just endorsed Sen Murray in her bid for reelection. Murray is dirty in the RPS Bond Frauds as well as reported by Larry Shook:

Sen. Murray and the S-R were also backers of Michael Ormsby for the US Attorney for the Eastern District of WA. Ormsby should have been indicted for his role in the first RPS Bond Frauds. Talk about leaving the fox to guard the hen house. See my report:

See the embedded link within to my report:
Michael Ormsby for US Attorney – Akin to Barney Madoff for SEC Chair ”
[*] “* Read Evidence Item RW26 and esp. the addendum in my attached Table of Evidence [ http://tinyurl.com/ybgkjqe ] re the explosive comments from WA Asst. AG Scott Marlow to David Savage. AG McKenna has tried to blow this off and Marlow is now on ice from the media. Spokane Co. Commissioner Bonnie Mager in a subsequent phone call corroborated what Marlow told Savage. David Savage did not misinterpret what Marlow told him – the AG was providing political cover not to file the Savage manslaughter case. A quid pro quo to secure the favor of the Cowleses in the 2012 governors race?
I will be doing a post later on the S-R article where the Board dismissed the CPA compliant but is still investigating:

“Sweeney called the usage “incidental.” He said a separate case remains, based on Wright’s complaint related to Cooley’s involvement with the city’s 2004 settlement with River Park Square. The mall is a subsidiary of the Cowles Co., which also owns The Spokesman-Review.”
