Candidate accused of anti-Jewish talk

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a report on big time anti-semitism:

Seattle Monorail Board member Cindi Laws, running for re-election, has incurred the official opposition of organized labor for reportedly making lengthy, repeated anti-Semitic remarks during a candidate interview.

The King County Labor Council, which has endorsed no one in Laws' race yet, took the rare step of voting to oppose her candidacy Wednesday night.

"She linked opponents of the monorail to the Jewish community in what we felt was an inappropriate way," Labor Council Executive Secretary Steve Williamson said Thursday. Laws made the comments Aug. 9 during an interview with seven members of the labor council's political committee, including Williamson, who sits on the monorail board with her.

Seattle is supposed to be a tolerant,progressive place.You'll notice that in the article no where does it say what political party Cindi Laws belongs to.
