OLYMPIA A lawsuit accusing initiative promoter Tim Eyman of concealing the source of donations and accepting kickbacks in the course of a 2012 initiative campaign is factually wrong and politically motivated, his lawyer asserted in a legal filing Tuesday.
The lawsuit filed by Attorney General Bob Ferguson misstates Washington campaign finance laws and seeks to broaden their reach in order to impose an unconstitutional prior restraint on Eymans right to participate in the political process, Bothell attorney Mark Lamb contends in the Thurston County Superior Court filing.
A close examination of this case reveals there is not a violation of law, which is why we are asking the Court to dismiss this action in its entirety and are seeking attorneys fees, Lamb said in a statement.
Eyman and representatives of the Attorney Generals Office were not immediately available for comment.
