Yesterdays Seattle Times had an
article about Julie
Kempf, a candidate for King County Elections Director. This article was about allegations that she forged documents, impersonated a government employee and tried to run over a police officer, plus a few other issues. I am one of the people that her forgeries and impersonations were out to hurt. As she called us, The Evil Twins. Myself and my Evil Twin have always wondered how she did what she did and what ever happened to all of this. We were never told. However, her actions had a HUGE impact on our lives. We paid a price for her lies, ultimately creating a hostile work environment where we could not trust many people. That environment led to a "perfect storm" if you will and set me up to be in a position to blame for major issues later. I am not, and never will, saying that I did not make mistakes - I did. However, I did not make all of the mistakes that were blamed on me and had upper management in my office and the county not had to deal with these allegations against me earlier that year, perhaps they might have had more opened eyes when I was
dog piled on for every mistake made in 2004. Either way, I have for 5 years wanted to know what happened and how she did what she did. I paid the price for her actions, even if she didn't. I had an employee who after this
absolutely did not trust me. And I always have
believed that my supervisor
believed these allegations as well. I wish she had been charged, because she did cause us harm. But I do find some relief to know how she did it and that me and my Evil Twin where not the crazy people involved in this.
