Coleman on Tuesday said the fungus in the can has grown to a length of three inches. He's thinking about taking the can to the Puyal- lup center for more analysis.

Hrbacek did not return a call seeking comment on the latest developments in her campaign against the lawmaker. One of her formal complaints against him was filed with the Leg- islative Ethics Board in the run-up to the last election and took issue with the payment of state funds to Sound Institute and many other things. Her complaints didn't stick, but the board's investigation of her complaints produced evidence that Eickmeyer's legislative aide had used the state's tele- phone to make numerous per- sonal calls. Those calls were made by Jean McMilian to Eickmeyer's campaign manager, Linda Thomson of Belfair. Thom- son was paid $18,500 during the months of the Democrat's campaign against Republican Randy Neatherlin. The Legislative Ethics Board fined McMilian $1,000 after alleging she "used the facilities of the House of Rep- resentatives for the purpose of assisting the campaign" of her employer and "made improper personal use of the facilities of the House on her own behalf and on behalf of others." the board found that McMil- ian had made 212 telephone calls to Thomson and that they talked for 5,097 minutes. Mike O'Connell, an attorney employed by the board, said there were statements to the effect that the two women are friends and so the Legislative Ethics Board found that there is "no reasonable cause" to believe she violated state law by using the House phone "to improperly assist Representa- tive Eickmeyer's campaign for reelection." The board found that Eick- meyer should not be held ac- countable for the 212 calls Mc- Milian made to his campaign manager. He should be made to pay for the five calls and the three letters she typed for him to Sound Institute, said the board. "It felt that he was in prime position of responsibility when he told her to do these things," O'Connell said. AN INVESTIGATION by Baby Boomers Hear the Call BY HIS CALCULATION the phone calls cost the state 95 cents while the cost to the state of the paper and the stamps for the letters are "something that we don't know" because Eickmeyer and McMilian "said they do keep some personal stamps around." The lawmaker's one-on-one on the niceties of ethics will be with Tim Sekerak, an attorney employed by the House. The agreement resolving the case was signed by Wayne Ehlers, who chairs the Legis- lative Ethics Board. Donna L. McKereghan, another member of the board, disagreed with the agreement "on the grounds that the proposed sanction is not proportional in relation to the sanctions imposed" on Jean McMilian because Eick- meyer "in his supervisory role directed his staff to use public resources on behalf of Sound Institute." 00PHD For New Hi-Tech Device Baby Boomers Hear the Call in purchasing new Hi-Tech Device.
