Mary Brown

Description

The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint Mary Brown filed on April 20, 2018. The complaint alleged that Responsible Taxation of Citizens (Respondent), a political committee, may have violated WAC 390-16-125 for exceeding the limitations of the Mini Reporting option without prior written authorization from the PDC; and RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely report contributions and expenditures.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the responses provided by the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.

Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, insufficient evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.

Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
