Description

The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint Glen Morgan filed on August 27, 2019. The complaint alleged that Valerie O’Halloran (Respondent), a candidate for Renton City Council Member, may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-037 for failure to provide accurate and complete details on Summary Receipts and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) for expenditures.

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

PDC staff is reminding Valerie O’Halloran about the importance of including all required detail for expenditures on all PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules. PDC staff expects in the future that Valerie O’Halloran will report timely and with all required detail for expenditures on all PDC reports 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).
