Letter to the Editor: Golden Tennis Shoe event proceeds should go to causes, not politician

Published 10:47 am Tuesday, June 22, 2010

The Beachcomber’s June 9 issue included an article about Sen. Patty Murray honoring Sue Nebeker and two other activist citizens at her annual Golden Tennis Shoe award luncheon. It is wonderful that such outstanding people receive recognition, but I was surprised to read that the event is a fundraiser for Murray’s campaign. Shouldn’t the funds go to the causes championed?
