Respondent

Complainant

Glen Morgan

Description

The complaint alleged Chris Marr violated RCW 42.17A.430 for an unauthorized transfer of funds between candidate committees and RCW 42.17A.235 by failing to timely file complete and accurate Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports). It alleged Marr donated $800 to Laurie Dolan in July 2006 and did not report this donation on a C-4 report. 

PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint, PDC laws, rules and reporting requirements, C-4 reports filed by Chris Marr, the response from Chris Marr and a response from the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR).

A Department employee in the DOR Unclaimed Property Program advised him. The advice that he could donate the funds to another campaign contravened DOR policy.

Based on this information, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not conduct a more formal investigation into your complaint or pursue further enforcement action in this case. 

The PDC reminded Chris Marr about the importance of contacting the PDC for accurate information about the financing of political campaigns, lobbyist expenditures, and the financial affairs of public officials and candidates.
