Found this interesting reading from Soundpolitics.com:
Sims campaign blackmailed county permit applicant
Pacific Raceways in Kent is seeking county permits to build a karting track on an existing parking lot.
I obtained this very interesting e-mail written by someone with an interest in helping Pacific Raceways:
Ron Sims' campaign folks have said that if Pacific Raceways can host a successful fundraising function for Mr. Sims, then somehow the permit reviewer might be convinced of the silliness of his position, and the permit can be issued. (I hate this stuff).
Read the whole thing. [redactions are mine to protect the author's identity]. I made some calls and confirmed this is for real.
Note that there were several donations made to the Sims campaign on 10/06/2005 by people with racing sport affiliations, people on the To: list of the forwarded e-mail, and by Paul Zalud, who is the contact person on the Pacific Raceways permit application. You'll also note that the To: list includes the name of someone who is a county building inspector.
