She will not hold government accountable. She will act as attorney for a government defendant. She will not issue findings of facts and conclusions of law for tough cases. She will punt on complex cases. She will try and sneak her decision past you. Send two self addressed stamped envelopes, and keep an eye on the Washington Courts website.

She interupted me to act as council for the government agencies. She purposely failed to mail her ruling to me in an attempt to cheat me out of a motion to reconsider and appeal. She is a rubber stamp for government agencies. If yyou have a case against a government agency do not hesittate to file an affidavit of prejudice. You do not want her to be your Judge if you want to hold a government accountable.
