Campaign watchdog won't reconsider penalty against Let's Go Washington
Let’s Go Washington won’t get another shot at convincing the state’s Public Disclosure Commission that it did not violate campaign finance laws.
Commissioners on Thursday said they would not reconsider their Oct. 9 ruling that the political committee failed to obtain and disclose information on payments to subvendors used by firms it hired to gather signatures for a slate of initiatives, including the four on the November ballot.
That ruling also found Let’s Go Washington did not hand over financial records in a timely fashion as it took a July subpoena before the group produced 9,000 pages of materials.
The commission levied a $20,000 fine, then suspended half as long as $10,000 was paid in 30 days and the committee “uses due diligence to determine if subvendors were used by its contracted vendors.”
