WASHINGTON SENATOR PAM ROACH, DID NOT VIOLATE STATE ETHIC LAWS

- An October 2008 complaint alleging Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, violated ethics laws by releasing confidential information about someone who made a complaint against her was dismissed.
Roach reportedly had been trying to help grandparents of a child who had been placed in foster care and posting about the situation in her personal, non-legislative blog. The foster mother complained that Roach had slandered her and made personal attacks in the blog. The foster mother also claimed personal information about her had been revealed, although Roach never said her name.
The board found that while Roach had used her office to advocate for the grandparents in court and with the Department of Social and Health Services, her actions didn’t violate state laws. The board also found that disclosure of any of the foster mother’s personal information did not violate ethics laws.

Thank God! Another big win for our side! Every day I’m hearing more and more victories for parental rights. I am so glad her freedom of speech and freedom of the press was upheld, especially when family courts blatantly disregard our rights on an ongoing basis. We’re getting closer to victory over CPS’s bullshit every single day.
