Attorney General Seeks Contempt Order Against Tim Eyman

OLYMPIA — Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Wednesday asked a Snohomish County Superior Court judge to hold Tim Eyman and his political committees in contempt for failing to turn over documents as part of an investigation into the initiative promoter's campaign finance practices. Ferguson said he was also seeking a similar ruling from a Thurston County judge against signature gathering firm Citizen Solutions, saying that both Eyman and his committees have failed to meet a court-ordered deadline for disclosing the documents. "Despite a subpoena and a court order, Tim Eyman continues to impede this investigation," Ferguson said.
