EvergreenHealth "Voter-Shames" To Get The Vote Out For Prop. 1

Prop 1 is a $345,000 bond to pay for seismic upgrades, a new ICU, and an Outpatient Building for Mental Health.

(EvergreenHealth website)

According to the PDC, The EvergreenHealth Foundation spent over $547,000 in "get out the vote" advertisements for the August 6th Special Election. Besides copious mailers, they also placed ads on Pandora and even CNBC. In their last mailer they gave "Voter Report Cards" with your grade circled in red. My grade, a C, was compared to my neighbor's grades....a childish and insensitive campaign.
