Description

The complaint alleged Tom Griffin, a candidate for City of Newcastle City Council, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities to assist an election campaign. 

Staff has determined, in this instance, the alleged use of facilities by Tom Griffin does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
