The Washington state representative who criticized International Speedway Corp. last month received a mild rebuke from the Kitsap County (Wash.) Council for Human Rights, according to the Kitsap Sun.
On Feb. 20, State Rep. Larry Seaquist described ISC as “bad corporate citizens.”
“These people are not the kind of people you would want living next door to you,” Seaquist told the Seattle Times. They’d be the ones with the junky cars in the front yard and would try to slip around the law.”
The council voted 6-2 on a statement that said Seaquist’s comments about ISC being a bad neighbor was “inappropriately promoting class bias,” the Sun said.
Seaquist is an opponent of ISC’s plan to build a 1.2-mile superspeedway in Washington state.

I’d rather hang out with the France family than a bunch of politicians anyway.
Nobody said we would want to live there! Who would want to live with you snootie people.
