Description

The complaint alleged David Prutzman violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failing to timely register a political committee, RCW 42.17A.235 for failing to report contributions and expenditures as a political committee and RCW 42.17A.320 for failing to disclose true sponsors. All allegations relate to the of Strong Mayor initiative in Puyallup.

Staff has determined that in this instance, the failure to report expenditures of $108.63 does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. PDC staff is reminding David Prutzman about the importance of the requirements regarding filing accurately and timely in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules. 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).
