OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The office of Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler has fired a top aide who formally complained that Kreidler had bullied him and was increasingly “antagonizing staff.” The Northwest News Network reports the firing Tuesday of Kreidler’s legislative liaison Jon Noski followed criticism in recent months from current, former and potential Office of Insurance Commissioner employees who said Kreider verbally mistreated staff and also, at times, used racially offensive language. In a statement Wednesday, a spokesperson for the office said Noski was subject to termination at any time. Noski says he’s disappointed and exploring legal options. Kreidler has said in response to the complaint that he apologized to staff and would be open to feedback moving forward.
