PIERCE COUNTY CRAZIES
by Harvard West
While the number of Pierce County residents who might qualify as “crazy” is potentially endless, only a select few are insane enough to be worthy of the distinction of a Pierce County Crazy. These individuals rise above terms like “unbalanced” or “eccentric” so that their every action ultimately encapsulate the very definition of what it is to be a true “maniac.”
#1 Pam Roach
Home Town: Sumner
Occupation: State Senator, 31st LD
2008
“During this past session, Senate Republican Party leaders banned Roach from contact with any employee of the Senate Republican caucus after she forced employees to spend inordinate amounts of time with her and demanded they pledge their loyalty to her. The reprimand became public after Roach released an open letter criticizing her caucus leadership and saying she had been “mooned” by fellow Republican Mike Hewitt.” Fuse
Is Pam Roach just crazy, or Crazy Like A FOX

Wouldn’t it be funny if somebody actually moved Pam’s Desk?
2006
2005
2003
“Two of Roach’s aides quit on the same day. Roach was reprimanded and asked to seek counseling by a bi-partisan committee, which cited multiple previous warnings that her treatment of staff violated the Senate’s respectful workplace policy. Her new aide was suspended for digging up and turning over to Senate officials private emails written by the former staffers.” FUSE
2000
“…the Senate agreed to pay $2,500 for counseling to a Roach aide who quit the previous year. The aide claimed she needed therapy after working for Roach nearly four years.” FUSE

How about the Honorable State Master Robert “The Traveller” Hill? Trouble is I don’t know if he is genuinely insane or just pretending to be insane to mess with people’s heads. I like to imagine the later.

He’s already on the list. Problem is, I’m afraid he might be dangerous. Hill and Roach are the obvious candidates, I feel like we’re leaving a lot of people out.
