Judge determines Tim Eyman broke campaign finance rules
A Thurston County Superior Court judge has ruled that gubernatorial candidate Tim Eyman broke campaign finance rules and concealed hundreds of thousands in campaign contributions.
According to the ruling made by Judge James Dixon, Eyman failed to register as a political committee, failed to report $766,447 in contributions he received for ballot propositions, and failed to file a C-3 report and a C-4 report for each month between September 2012 through July 2018.
Attorney General Bob Ferguson Tweeted that the ruling partially resolves his case against Eyman. Ferguson is suing Eyman for $2.1 million, in addition to hundreds of thousands of dollars in court contempt fees.
The penalty will be decided on July 13.
