Respondent

Roger Goodman

Complainant

Glen Morgan

Description

On October 16, 2017, the Public Disclosure Commission received a complaint alleging that Rodger Goodman (Respondent), may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 by failing to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports, including the failure to properly report the purpose of expenditures, as required by WAC 390-16-037 and WAC 390-16-205, and RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to timely and accurately report debt. 

PDC staff reviewed the allegations/complaint and found that there were expenditures made by the Committee either to a vendor or an individual for which a more detailed explanation or description should have been provided. Staff also noted that there were some reports that were reported late by the respondent. However, these deficiencies were mitigated by the fact that the respondent did not have any prior violations.  

Based on these findings, staff determined that the deficiencies found based on the review of the complaint did not warrant further investigation. However, staff issued a reminder to the respondent regarding the importance of filing timely and accurate contribution and expenditure reports in the future. 

Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
