For years the Democrat Party in Washington State has depended on the compulsory dues money of public employee union members to keep it afloat. The various unions that comprise the Washington Federation of State Employees has provided tens of millions over the last decade to make sure Frank Chopp is still Speaker of the House, and that a Democrat Governor is “negotiating” their union contracts.
However, that may be about to change.
The Freedom Foundation announced today a “complaint filed with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office that has the potential to cost the union millions and alter the way it conducts its political affairs.”
The filing with the AG’s offices claims that “wrongdoing going back as much as five years, (and) alleges the union qualifies as a political committee but hasn’t adhered to reporting requirements a political committee must under Washington state campaign finance laws.”
Now we wait to see how a Democrat AG and a Democrat-run Public Disclosure Commission handle this complaint. Stay tuned.
