Group that wants to provide legal help to Eyman starts fight with disclosure commission
Aug. 9—A group that wants to represent anti-tax activist Tim Eyman in his appeal has sued over how state campaign finance law might apply to its pro bono legal work.
The Institute for Free Speech, a national nonprofit, filed the lawsuit against members of the state Public Disclosure Commission and against the state Attorney General's Office Aug. 2 in U.S. District Court in Tacoma.
"With the advice of the Attorney General's office, we expect to respond in court," the PDC said in a statement Thursday.
Attorney General Bob Ferguson sued Eyman for violating campaign finance laws, and earlier this year a Thurston County judge fined Eyman $2.6 million.
