It is my belief that both hospital Commissioners Anthony Hemstad and Aaron Heide conspired with Renton resident Chris Clifford to file an ill-conceived recall petition against me, in an all-too-obvious effort to hijack my vote on the UW Medicine strategic alliance. Mr. Clifford is widely recognized as a serial petitioner of recalls; indeed, he previously filed an unfounded recall petition against hospital Commissioner Don Jacobson. As in the case of Commissioner Jacobson’s recall petition two years ago, a judge recently threw out Mr. Clifford’s petition against me because it lacked both factual and statutory legitimacy. The bogus recall petition filed against me was intended to hijack my vote on the UW Medicine strategic alliance and to impugn my reputation.
