No trespassing. That means you, Mayor Talmas!

We received these photos through a public document request with the City of Woodinville.

When Talmas failed to bully an opposing Council member into resigning, his people set out to harass him into submission.

According to an email obtained by Ethical Woodinville: on March 10, 2013, the Talmas' agent went onto the Councilman's property while no one was home, and photographed what he claimed were "code violations" for repairs being made to his leased home.

The photos were sent to the Councilman in a threatening e-mail.

Wouldn't this make any person feel like they were being stalked and their privacy violated?

We need stronger ethics rules restricting bullying and harassment by a mayor or Council member toward their peers. We elect them to do a job for us, not fight and bully each other. And most definitely not to trespass and spy on each other.
