#137262
David Tobin
Michael Dawes
PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to decide whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.
Based on staff’s review, we found the following:
The late filing of the F-1 report by David Tobin appears to be an oversight and not done to withhold personal financial information from the public.
Based on our case review, in this instance, failure to timely file the candidate F-1 report disclosing financial activity for the previous twelve months does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation. As well, the PDC finds that there is no evidence to support a violation of RCW 42.17A.710 and RCW.17A.205 for failing to accurately file an F-1 and not filing a C-1.
Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, David Tobin will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to follow filing requirements for timely filing of the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report). PDC staff expects in the future that David Tobin will file all campaign reports on time following PDC laws and rules. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.
Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is called for and has dismissed the matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).
