Description

The complaint alleges multiple violations of RCW 42.17A.555 by Sound Transit in regards to the Sound Transit 3 tax ballot. 

No evidence was provided of any actual work conducted by Enviroissues, a firm that contracted with Sound Transit (ST), that supported the ST3 ballot measure, or that ST used the facilities to support the ST3 ballot measure.  For these reasons, the PDC will not be conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action.
