Let’s Go Washington won’t get another shot at convincing the state’s Public Disclosure Commission that it did not violate campaign finance laws.
Commissioners on Thursday said they would not reconsider their Oct. 9 ruling that the political committee failed to obtain and disclose information on payments to subvendors used by firms it hired to gather signatures for a slate of initiatives, including the four on the November ballot.
That ruling also found Let’s Go Washington did not hand over financial records in a timely fashion as it took a July subpoena before the group produced 9,000 pages of materials.
