OLYMPIA A Thurston County Superior Court judge has found Tim Eyman in contempt for failing to produce financial records in an ongoing probe of alleged politically corrupt acts by the Mukilteo initiative promoter.
Judge James Dixon issued the contempt order Friday and imposed a fine of $250 a day until Eyman turns over documents sought by Attorney General Bob Ferguson in the civil suit accusing Eyman of illegally profiting from political activities in 2012.
Dixon imposed the fine retroactive to Feb. 16 as recommended by a special master assigned to handle discovery matters in the complicated legal fight, according to the Attorney Generals office. The contempt order is expected to remain in effect until the special master, a retired judge, informs Dixon that the contempt is purged.
Mr. Eyman has resisted our efforts to shine a light on his activities every step of the way, Ferguson said Monday in response to an email. Hopefully the contempt sanctions will finally motivate Mr. Eyman and his associates to comply with the courts order to produce the requested documents, including relevant financial information.
