The Jake and Spike Show on Harrell's deal with strategist

Political strategist Christian Sinderman's contract with Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell was repeatedly extended after Harrell won, The Seattle Times reported Sunday. Meanwhile, Sinderman's $250 an hour fee was funded by taxpayer money.

"The Seattle Times had this really interesting piece that highlights why I think a lot of people find politics to be so gross," KIRO host Jake Skorheim shared on "The Jake and Spike Show."

While the Ethics and Elections Commission couldn't find anything illegal, Jake said the contract felt "kind of icky."
