Dino Rossi Steals Emails

Dino Rossi has been caught using email lists from the Everett AquaSox. Dino Rossi, a part owner in the club, used his owner status to get the email server list from the organization. This list, intended purely for sending information about the team, was then used by the Rossi Campaign to send out invitations to a Dino Rossi fund raiser.

Peter A. and Peter E. Carfagna of the AquaSox apologized to fans Tuesday hours after Rossi’s campaign sent out invites to 5,500 addresses on the list.

The Carfagnas wrote:

“We recently learned that our personal privacy policy was compromised in an attempt to solicit your support for a partisan political fundraiser.

In that regard, on behalf of our family ownership group, we would like to express our sincere apologies.

Although we did not authorize this communication nor were we aware of it in advance, we have justifiably received numerous complaints from you expressing your displeasure. We take full responsibility and again beg your pardon."

This demonstrates how Dino Rossi and his close staffers value the privacy of the people of Washington State. If Dino Rossi cannot even be trusted as an owner of a single A baseball team, then how can we trust him to run a State? If he is unwilling to respect basic contract and privacy policies, can Dino Rossi really be trusted to not violate the same privacy and state constitution in favor of his own political ends?
