SEATTLE (AP) — Anti-tax voter initiative promoter and Republican candidate for governor Tim Eyman has until next Monday, April 19 to pay $270,000 in fines and attorneys’ fees accumulated for refusing to follow court orders in a state campaign finance case.
The Seattle Times reports the payment will be due as part of a new plan approved by a federal bankruptcy court judge. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said this week that Eyman owes over $340,000 in contempt sanctions and related costs and has paid about $60,000. Sanctions continue to accrue.
