Thumbs up: State employees

State employees and city of Seattle employees, along with retirees from the public sector, pledged a record $5.63 million to more than 1,000 charities during the 2005 Combined Fund Drive. The annual giving campaign was created during the administration of Gov. John Spellman to stop the constant interruption of state employees’ work day by officials from charitable organizations seeking donations."
