[SpamCop-List] [Media] Washington State AGO suing Ernesto Haberli

[Brazzlefratz]

And here just a couple weeks ago I was taking the AG to task for not doing
anything.  She must have assigned a lurker to follow this NG.  Good job,
Christine.

Maybe with a few more of these our ex-insurance agent Guv (Gary 'I Never Met a
Tax I Didn't Like' Locke) will be able to eliminate the stiff cuts he announced
yesterday, not that we shouldn't cut the state budget a whole lot more.
