Carr returns money from strip club attorney
As PubliCola notes, City Attorney Tom Carr’s campaign has returned a $400 deposit that includes $200 from attorney Gil Levy, who represents the controversial Colacurcio family, the owners of Rick’s strip club.
The donation was made May 25, but Carr’s campaign just reported it recently. The Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission plans to fine Carr $125 for the late disclosure.
Wayne Barnett, director of the SEEC, wrote to the Carr campaign that “a major purpose of the Seattle Elections Code is to give the public timely access to information regarding all contributions and expenditures made supporting or opposing City candidates. One of the contributors whose identity was not timely reported was Gilbert Levy, Esq. Our records show that Mr. Levy’s last two contributions to City of Seattle candidates [ed. note: city council members Richard Conlin and Nick Licata] were refunded to him by the candidates. Given this history, it is unlikely that the contribution would have gone unnoticed had it been timely reported.”
