Title: Seattle Nightlife Group Files Complaint About City Attorney Carr
Abstract: Seattle, WA — The Seattle Nightlife and Music Association has officially filed an elections complaint against City Attorney Tom Carr, claiming that a recent crackdown occurred for political reasons. The Association reported that an assistant city attorney met with bar and club owners on October 6, threatening club owners, who held fundraisers for Pete Holmes, Carr’s political opponent. Bar and club owners have also blamed Carr for "Operation Sobering Thought", a sting in 2007 that targeted bar workers for letting in underage and armed patrons. Carr’s campaign alleges that the Associations attacks are political themselves and the crackdowns occurred in the context of violent incidents.
