Superior Court Judge Chris Wickham ruled Friday morning that on-air advocacy of the anti-gasoline-tax initiative by KVI Radio hosts John Carlson and Kirby Wilbur was in effect a political campaign contribution that needed to be listed as an in-kind donation by I-912 sponsors. Yikes! I wonder what brought that on? Some kind of state law? I never heard of it. Is that Washington state?

That's fascinating! Now just about every show on CNN/ABC/NBC/PBS/NYT/WAP/MSNBC could be considered a political campaign contribution. ;-)

The Washington judiciary is again bending over backward in its efforts to do anything possible to thwart citizen efforts to rein in taxes. Typical, but not unexpected. A note on the judge: Judge Wickham had a general legal practice in Olympia , first with an emphasis on family law matters and later on elder law. He had worked as a labor law attorney in California and as a legal services attorney in Connecticut and Olympia. Judge Wickham is admitted to practice law in California , Connecticut , and Washington . A native of New York State , he has resided in Thurston County since 1977. co.thurston.wa.us Anyone want to take a wild guess what Judge Wickham's political leanings are?
