Look for the Union Label in Woodland Mayor’s Race

And they did it through their union headquarters in San Francisco. Now why would the union spend a couple thousand dollars sending out Liar Flyers to residents of Woodland? Do you know who’s running for Mayor of Woodland? Answer: The spokesman for the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office who has been talking to the media about the thuggish antics of the Longview  Longshoreman’s Union, Grover Laseke.

The Longshoreman’s Union Headquarters sent flyers to thousands of Woodland residents. From the Longview Daily News:

“Since Saturday, thousands of Woodland voters have received a flyer from a San Francisco-based group called the Committee for Accountable Government urging them to vote against Laseke, the director of the county’s emergency management department. The flyer blasted Laseke for his support of a new police headquarters in Woodland and questioned whether he has time to serve as mayor.

Gee, no mention of him being a spokesman for the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office, the tip of the spear against the illegality and thuggery of the Longshoreman’s Union? 
I went to bed noting that Laseke had the lead and woke up this morning to find:

 CITY OF WOODLAND MAYOR Nonpartisan, Vote For 1
Grover Laseke 0 0.00% 11 44.00% 11 44.00%
John “JJ” Burke 0 0.00% 14 56.00% 14 56.00%

Interesting, no? Hey Occupiers, Longshore thugs and your friends: You claim corporations should not have the ability to spend money in campaigns. You go first.
