Breaking: Larry Stickney Paid Himself $6,500 for One Month's Work

Honestly

Honestly, as nice as it has been to receive updates on an effort that obviously is doomed to fail, I can't help but wonder if such updates by this point wouldn't be better suited to some area that can investigate this for fraud.

I mean, what more is there to really say on this? You've dug up some great stuff that I'm sure would be great to have certain public officials look into.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, just saying.

all i can do

is present the information.  others can decide what to do with it.  as far as paying himself a princely salary, he has done nothing illegal as far as i know.  however, he has shown the referendum campaign for what it is - a craven, self-serving instrument for the people running it.  i have no doubt that he'll add this failure to the list of "accomplishments" on his resume.

i have to ask myself - would a campaign manager who believe that this referendum was going to the ballot drain the accounts into his own pockets 3 weeks before the signature gathering deadline?  looks to me like he's making sure he gets his, and let the referendum chips fall where they may.

PMW is no HRC

$6,500 a month?  Joe Solmonese pulls down more than that in a week.

Just sayin'...

Evidence

$338,400 in 2008 according to the Blade (second only to Craig Shniderman, executive director of Food & Friends, who pulled down $382,200):

338,400 / 52 = $6,508/wk.

Of course, HRC's 2008 revenue of $41.4M makes Joe's cut almost insignficant compared to your boy Larry.  But my point stands.

Just thought I'd mention

One's compensation package, which is what you are referencing for Solomonese, is not equivalent to one's salary, which is what Lurleen is referencing.

True of course

The point still is though that any compensation paid out of an organization to pad Joe's or Larry's nests means that much less left over to fight for (or against) civil rights.

While I agree wholeheartedly with Lurleen's original post and all of the comments, it seemed only fair to point out that Our Man Joe is pulling down over 4x as much -- while attending A-list, star-studded galas as a perq.  And truly, how much more effective is Joe than Larry?  Two overpaid empty suits staring each other down across a line in the sand.

Yeah

$6,500/mo ain't a lot of money.

Larry does need the money...he has expenses

The court battles from his particularly nasty divorce with his second wife ended only a couple of years ago.  The case remained active for over ten years after the divorce decree because of continuing quarrels over visitation and child support.  According to documents filed by Larry in 2006, he had $30,000 in credit card debt.  And that's just before the court ordered him to help pay for his daughter's college education.  He's probably still working on the credit card debt since he's providing for family number 3.  Snohomish county public records and Zillow.com would suggest he has little or no equity left in his house.  He needs the money, so he milks the R-71 gig for all he can.

Oh, the irony

It bleeds.

Submitted for your approval is one Larry Stickney who has created a straw organization for the sole purpose of passing hate legislation aimed at LGBT's, only to then siphon off the donations to pay for the sins he has committed screwing over his "traditional" family.

You just can't make this shit up.

traditional "families" - in the plural

For awhile (approx 2000-2006) Larry was supporting two families.  He argued his obligation to his third family as a basis for limiting his support obligation to his second family.  Of course, having to pay support to the second family detracts from his ability to support his third.  Both families were screwed.

Larry Vs. Rygel XVI

Is it just me or does Larry bear an uncanny resemblance to Rygel XIV from Farscape?  For those unfamiliar with the sadly departed show, Rygel was a deposed bitter monarch in search of subjects to rule over.  Oh, and he was a Muppet.

Coincidence?

Puppet: Muppet:

Beer money

Clearly this aged good-'ol-boy has a lot of beer to purchase with panicky Christian donation dollars, to maintain his figure. Maybe he should invest in a haircut with some of that money instead of asking his wives to get the salad bowl out of the cupboard.
