For Democrats like Jay Inslee, the more we don’t hear about State Auditor Troy Kelley, the better. They continue to hope people don’t notice he is not doing his job so that their party doesn’t get blamed for his corruption.
The disgraced Democrat is under indictment. Though elected officials and editorial pages across the state have called for his resignation, the power structure of the Democrat Party (from Jay Inslee on down) are content to let this scandal—like the one that eventually brought down former rising star Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon—slide from public attention. It’s better for their party, after all, if no one starts asking why prominent Democrats have such prominent ethical problems.
