Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant acknowledges ethics violations, must pay back city funds

Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant has acknowledged she violated the city's Ethics and Elections Code when she used city funds to help pay for her Tax Amazon initiative, among other things, last year.

Sawant has agreed to pay the city of Seattle two times the amount she originally spent, according to documents released Friday by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission (SEEC).
