A Thurston County Superior Court judge issued a ruling Wednesday, fining anti-tax activist Tim Eyman over $2.6 million for “numerous and egregious” violations of campaign finance laws, and barring him from managing any and all finances for political committees.
The case brought by the state against Eyman originally filed in 2017 by Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleged that Eyman had received kickbacks from donors contributing money to his initiatives, and then used that money for personal gain.
