Description

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.
