News Pedersen is Not a Lobbyist
This correction will run in next week’s paper, but I want to get it up on Slog right now.
At one point in our endorsement for Stephanie Pure for 43rd District Rep (vote Pure, she’s a smart, articulate, urban headed woman who will make stuff happen in Olympia), we incorrectly identified Preston Gates & Ellis attorney Jamie Pedersen (another candidate in the race) as a lobbyist. Pedersen is an attorney with Preston Gates. He is not a lobbyist.
Preston Gates do have several registered lobbyists in Olympia, but Pedersen is not one of them.
We regret the error.
Translation:
Josh just hung up the phone with Preston, Gates who just threatened him with a lawsuit.
