Who is Donna Zink and why does she want info on Washington's Level 1 registrants?

ADDENDUM: In honor of the WA Sup Ct's decision in favor of Donna Zink, I've decided to share her personal info. Cheers:

This is Donna Zink of Mesa, WA. She has been in the news recently for filing public records requests to obtain info on the state's Tier 1 registrants, which are not available online, and for good reason-- Washington has been a hotbead of vigilante activity, from the double homicides of 2005 to the Angry Tammy Gibson case, to the more recent Patrick Drum vigilante killings last summer.

This poss the question-- just who is Donna Zink? She's a former mayor and councilwoman of Mesa, a small "blink and you miss it" town is SE Washington state. That was a long time ago, so these days, she makes her living by abusing public records requests. She won a quarter-million-dollar lawsuit against the city for a public records request flub, so now, she is looking to make a quick buck elsewhere.

So now, she's found a way to make news again. Since Washington's Level 1 registrants are not available online, Donna Zink is looking to change that. Despite her claims to the contrary, she is abusing registry info.

Personally, I see nothing in the law that saws she is entitled to the Level 1 registry info. She cites RCW 4.24.550 as her justification, but the law says this about the release of Level 1 info:

 (3) Except for the information specifically required under subsection (5) of this section, local law enforcement agencies shall consider the following guidelines in determining the extent of a public disclosure made under this section: (a) For offenders classified as risk level I, the agency shall share information with other appropriate law enforcement agencies and, if the offender is a student, the public or private school regulated under Title 28A RCW or chapter 72.40 RCW which the offender is attending, or planning to attend. The agency may disclose, upon request, relevant, necessary, and accurate information to any victim or witness to the offense and to any individual community member who lives near the residence where the offender resides, expects to reside, or is regularly found;

  (5)(a) When funded by federal grants or other sources, the Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs shall create and maintain a statewide registered kidnapping and sex offender web site, which shall be available to the public. The web site shall post all level III and level II registered sex offenders, level I registered sex offenders during the time they are out of compliance with registration requirements under RCW 9A.44.130, and all registered kidnapping offenders in the state of Washington.


Sounds like she's not entitled to the info, if you ask me, unless she lives all over Benton AND Franklin counties. She has publicly shown her battle HERE and HERE as well. She does admit that the registry is intended to punish, plus she illustrates the level of ignorance typical of someone with a television style education:


Below is a few more of her rants on the subject from her FB page. From her FB posts, it is obvious she intends on posting the otherwise non-public info publicly on her own websites. There is no reason to honor this wacko's requests:

When I read about Donna Zink's "construction plan" my first thought was King of the Hill and Dale Gribble's guard tower.

I am tired of reading that zink is a former mayor and council member. fact is the city council took her to court to have her recalled or impeached. the city council acted to early and the court sided with her. there are dozens of reasons why she is a former of anything.

Considering she lives in Mesa, AZ, i wonder what her connections are to Chuck Rodrick and the Offendex/SORArchives mess.

She could be working to score the data for a profit, by turning that data over to the mugshot extortion site operator who uses others to seek out data he can't obtain himself, due to the fact that people knows who he is now and what he's up to.

Actually, she lives in Mesa, WA. Although she could indeed be working for the Offendex chumps, she seems more interested in making money for herself via suing over alleged breaches of releasing public info. That should be obvious from reading my article.

Also, she has taken the data she HAS received so far and released it to the public already. That is why subsequent counties refused to give her the info she requested.

1983-1997 _ After fourteen years in the system I was allowed to participate in court proceeding for final discharge from supervision.

January 14, 1997 _ Probation Officer Gallegos, "Your honor it was a million-to-one fluke Mr. Collins was charged with this crime."

Judge Hogan did not require me to register as a sex offender, "Dan just get on with your life."

August 21, 1997 _ Fircrest ceremonial mayor [ribbon-cutting-authority] David M. Viafore ignored Judge Hogan's court order, and without authority on Friday afternoon, after normal business hours through the back door registered me as a Level 1 sex offender for life.

Immediately authorities connected to my fraudulent case [1983-1997 and into 2014] went to ground.

For the past eighteen years influential Washington State politicians have blocked my Constitutional right to be represented by an attorney.

What a great way to start another witch hunt. Just an FYI.... IT'S A CLASS C FELONY to harass a sex offender. Sounds like she's looking to catch a few cases herself. What a nut bag!

Heidi Howell said...

Donna Zink is the monster for sure. These victims as well as the persecuted need to be able to put all behind them. Not all of the persecuted are monsters. Some had extenuating circumstances. I'm not condoning their behavior but everyone needs to hear ALL the facts. Ms. Zink doesn't have the mind set to do that. Not to mention her own children were mentally and verbally abused by her. Why else would they run away?

Unknown said...

If this nut case publishes these names I hope they sue her in a class action law suit and take her for every dime she has. then she can be put in a state run mental institute where she belongs

In Canada where I now live the registry are available to police only and if the offender is an extremely violent offender they will do a locale notification. we have less than 1% repeats on sex offenders but murders and other violent offenders repeat at about 50%,guess who I would prefer to live my neighbor hood.

Donna Zink has no voice here. Deal. Wit. It. You deserve to be outed. And stop pretending you haven't hid your address. You detracted your real address from any court docs you've posted, and you sue from a PO Box. Stuff a sock in it, you crazy old bat.
