Respondent name: Washington State Transit Association and Officials
Complainant name: Glen Morgan
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint Glen Morgan filed on December 6, 2019. The complaint alleged that Washington State Transit Association and Officials (Respondents), a nonprofit organization and its employees, may have violated RCW 42.17A.255 for failure to report the value of legal services in opposition to Initiative 976; and RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities to oppose Initiative 976.
PDC staff reviewed the allegations; and the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.
Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no 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).
