Despite being under investigation for allegedly mis-
using taxpayer money and his office to support an affair
and
his campaign, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon is
getting a raise.
The Everett Herald reports
Executive Reardon will get a 1.5 percent bump in 2013
($149,304) and again in 2014 ($151,544).
A citizens panel voted this week to give county leaders a
cost of living increase to match what other county workers
have received. It’s the first bump since 2010.
Reardon is under investigation for allegedly using
taxpayer money to foster a long-time affair and using his
office during his re-election campaign.
Tamara Dutton says she had the six-year affair with
Reardon and estimates he spent at least $1,500 of taxpayer
money on her when she accompanied him on official trips.
Records from the Washington State Patrol investigation
showed Reardon also scheduled more than 100 hours with his
campaign fundraiser during times his public schedule
listed he was in county staff meetings dealing with county
business.
