OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee is now among a growing number of people calling for elected Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler to resign. The calls for the 78-year-old Democrat to step down come after the Northwest News Network reported Wednesday that Kreidler’s office had fired employee Jon Noski. Noski had submitted a written complaint about Kreidler’s treatment of staff. Inslee said Friday that while Kreidler had said he would work to improve his relationship with staff, recent events show he’s unable to fulfill his leadership responsibility. The Washington State Democratic Party and a group of state senators have also urged him so resign. Kreidler said Noski wasn’t fired because of the complaint and doesn’t plan to resign.
