Staff has determined, in this instance, the alleged violation of failing to include sponsor identification on political advertising and political advertising that contains false statements about a candidate constituting libel or defamation, does not amount to a violation warranting 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).
