THREAD: With grocery store workers on the front line of the #COVID19 pandemic, some @QFCGrocery employees are upset after receiving a “token of appreciation” from the company – $2.
QFC tells me the letter created confusion and the $2 is not meant to be a “bonus.” A spokesperson tells me: “Historically, this small gift card ($2) was given during leadership store visits at holiday time as a special coffee or treat during breaktime for associates.” (2/3)
“During COVID, our holiday tours were suspended but there was a desire to still provide the small token of fun treats.  We continue to listen to our associates and can appreciate the confusion and will work to clear it up.” (3/3) #Q13FOX

New: State Supreme Court issues full ruling in decision not to allow recall of Seattle's mayor. Cites two recall limitations it finds relevant:

"First, an elected official is not subject to recall for the act of a subordinate done without the official’s knowledge or direction.”
2) "An official may be recalled for execution of discretionary acts only if the execution of that discretion is done ‘in a manifestly unreasonable manner,' which 'may be shown by demonstrating discretion was exercised for untenable grounds or for untenable reasons.'”
The court concluded that recall petitioners "do not show that Mayor Durkan’s failure to take any particular action was manifestly unreasonable" as it pertained to response to demonstrators.

So far, House Democratic Caucus tells me “we’re not aware of any.” Have messages out to others.
House Republican Caucus says the same.
Senate GOP Leader Mark Schoesler says of his caucus: "To the very best of my knowledge none did. I was certainly here working in Ritzville."

BREAKING: Recall effort of Seattle Councilwoman Kshama Sawant can proceed. Court finds 4 of 6 accusations brought forth represent "substantial conduct clearly amounting to misfeasance, malfeasance, or a violation of the oath of office" for which there is "no legal justification."
Accusations deemed justification for recall:

-Sawant relinquished duties of office to outside political org
-Misused city resources
-Misused position by letting protesters into City Hall
-Led protest to mayor's house despite it being protected by a state program due to threats
Next steps: Recall can proceed to signature gathering phase. Roughly 11,000 signatures are needed (25% of the number of votes cast in election). If they get that, voters would decide in 2021 whether Sawant stays in office. Worth noting that recalls are rarely successful.

I just got off a 40-minute phone conversation with Rep. Jenny Graham about this voicemail and the story that prompted it. A few takeaways in this thread. (1/5)
She knows she screwed up. She calls it a “human” moment and says she’ll take whatever “comeuppance” might come. She said her words came from a place of hurt and rage over lived experiences with abuse and sex trafficking. (2/5)
Rep. Graham: “I do plan to apologize (to @danielwinlander). He wronged me Brandi, but that doesn’t mean he deserved me calling him what I did.”

Walters has stood by his reporting and says Graham has not pointed out any specific factual inaccuracies. (3/5)

Chief Best: "For me personally this was a decision I wrestled with, but it was time."
Chief Best: "To the men and women of the Seattle Police Department sworn and civilian, you will always have my respect, you will always be in my heart. You are without a doubt the best police department in the country."
