The dictionary defines the word ACCOMPLICE in the following ways:
accomplice
accomplice
(Law) An associate in the commission of a crime; a participator in an offense, whether a principal or an accessory.
Governor Locke has been made aware of the "crimes" of the Dept. of L&I through phone calls, e-mails, written letters. All addressed directly to him, through the Governors Office. He has viewed the documented proof of what the Dept. of L&I has and does gain convictions of Felony Fraud against the Citizens of the State. Yet Governor Locke has chosen to ignore these "crimes", the wrongful handling of the Industrial Insurance Act, Washington RCW Title 51, causing undue burden and hardship to not only the injured worker, but as well to every employee and employer in the State of Washington by ignoring and allowing the Dept. of L&I to wrongfully administer the management of the Industrial Insurance Act.
The employers and employees of the State of Washington pay into the "fund" which is to cover the cost of Industrial Injuries. The Dept. of L&I has for an unknown period of time (at least 8 years according to what the Attorney Generals Office told Supervisor John Bloomstrand of the Dept. of L&I, Employer Services, Preferred Workers Program) been doing "favors" for certain employers allowing them to not correctly pay into the "fund" and allowing the "favored" employers to be exempt from the financial burden of Industrial Accidents filed against them. This causes the others to have to "pick up" the cost of these injuries.
How long must we be responsible to pay the burden assesed ourselves and the cost of the others?
In these financially hard times (the Dept. of L&I has most recently raised your cost of Industrial Insurance coverage due to, they claim, poor market ventures, and the rising cost of medical coverages) is it fair to know that you are being liable for others cost, and not take appropriate action to correct this?
This is the (lack of) action of the Office of Governor Gary Locke.
The Dept. of L&I employees are paid to "explain" to you why you are not eligible for benefit coverage of the Industrial Insurance Act, whether they are correct or (more times than not) wrong. Trying to "appeal" their decisions and waiting for the "due process" has caused bankruptcy, divorce and suicide. The Attorney Generals Office defends the "Orders" of the Dept. of L&I when you do appeal, and they have stated that the Dept. of L&I does not care or necessicarily follow the decisions of the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals.
It is time that the Citizens of the State receive the Legislated Benefits that they are required to pay for!
The Dept. of L&I has been referred to by Douglas Connell, Former Assistant Director for Insurance Services, as an "Insurance Company". What they, the Dept. of L&I do then is Insurance Fraud, with your Governor aware of this.
Available on-line is the petition:
Those determined involved in the act of Felony Fraud against the Workers and Employers.
Mark Jacobsen - Felony Fraud, illegal issuance of the Preferred Worker Program.
Those determined involved in the act of Fraud against the Workers filing claims for worker's comp.
Michael Sinigaglio, CM - inappropriate determinations against worker.
Not withstanding all the crimes, and monies unaccounted for, the Dept. of L&I caused Rate Hikes in the premiums paid by workers and employers exceeding 47% from late 2002 thru Jan. 2005."If you are not part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem"
n : someone who helps another person commit a crime [syn: accessory, accessary]
\Ac*com"plice\, n. [Ac- (perh. for the article a or for L. ad) + E. complice. See Complice.] 1. A cooperator.
When "one" (Governor Gary Locke) is aware of the "actions" (committing of crimes) by another, and that same "one" does, as him / her self, have the authority and "power" to correct and reverse the "actions" (crimes) of the perpetrator, yet takes no actions, Then is not that same "one" an ACCOMPLICE to the act?
