Letter: There oughta be a law

Published 3:30 pm Monday, November 25, 2019

I’m writing in response to the article in the Oct. 24 edition of The Daily World in regard to the City of Olympia’s mailer sent to citizens urging a “no” vote on Initiative 976.

As Tim Eyman, the sponsor of the initiative stated, this mailer is “blatantly illegal.” It was sent to approximately 15,000 households at a cost of $7,423. Since it was sent illegally, the money used to send the mailer was essentially stolen. Money used and/or taken without permission is theft. Most people who steal from their employer are fired from their job and often prosecuted.

I would like to know the consequences of this illegal act for those responsible, and I feel that we citizens have a right to know.

In my opinion they should be fired and prosecuted for theft.
