Investigation Unearths Fraud At Port Of Seattle

Were you as shocked as we were when you heard that there's corruption afoot at the Port of Seattle? Shocked! A $1.3 million investigation into the state of affairs over at the Port of Seattle offices has dredged up ten specific times when employees committed civil fraud. It's not new information, but the investigation does confirm and provide evidence for each case. One guy even used his connections to get his daughter an internship, which is one of those unfair but all-too-commonplace occurrences in this broken, broken world.

Port CEO Tay Yoshitani is on righteousness' side, however, and he said in response [pdf] to the investigation's findings, "I am deeply disappointed and saddened.[...] Any staff member who has committed fraud will be appropriately disciplined and potentially terminated." Take that, fraudulent frauds, and good luck qualifying for Basic Health.
