Rosemary McAuliffe
Question/Complaint
It was alleged that public resources were used to conduct a telephonic, legislative town hall meeting during which participants were encouraged to vote for the Respondent.
Summary
Public resources were used, but there was no evidence that the meeting consisted of any thing more than a question and answer format which dealt with legislative issues. The complaint was dismissed for lack of reasonable cause to believe the Act had been violated (RCW 42.52.180).
