Dino Rossi campaign apologizes for sending e-mails to AquaSox fan list

The dirty tricks of Robert Walden continue!...Walden was Rossi became Segretti and now back to Rossi?

Republican Dino Rossi’s campaign apologized Wednesday to Everett AquaSox fans for using the club’s private e-mail list to solicit them for an upcoming fundraiser at the ball park.

Rossi, one of seven minority owners of the Seattle Mariners Class A affiliate, did not know the addresses of 5,500 names had been obtained for use in drumming up attendance for the Monday event, campaign spokeswoman Jill Strait said.

AquaSox General Manager Brian Sloan provided the information at the request of Everett businessman Tom Hoban, chairman of Rossi’s fundraising committee in Snohomish County and also a minority owner.

“The campaign believed that since we had received the list from AquaSox management, we had permission to send an e-mail about the upcoming event,” Strait said in a prepared statement.

“We were wrong. It is our fault for not double checking,” she said. “We apologize to AquaSox fans who received this e-mail.”
