OLYMPIA — Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna is in the thick of an election battle with John Ladenburg, who lost the Democratic primary for attorney general about 16 years ago.
This time, Ladenburg is coming out swinging. He is accusing McKenna, a moderate Republican, of using the attorney general’s office for political gain while failing to address some of the Evergreen State’s most pressing problems.
“I think the attorney general’s office needs to be there to protect the views of Washington State citizens on privacy and choice, and I just don’t think the current attorney general is doing that – or would do that,” he said in an interview this week with LegalNewsLine.
Mr. Ladenberg states that Wa was in the top 15 for ID theft when Mr. McKenna took office…but according to TDN.com reporting in Feb 2008, Mr. McKenna stated we were 7th in the nation when he took office and now are 13th during his first term… and the numbers are continuing to drop.
So who’s facts are right? It is important for an AG or candidate to represent correct information… so who is correct?
