OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A judge has ruled that anti-tax activist Tim Eyman must disclose the source of $800,000 in contributions in a campaign finance lawsuit filed against him.
The Seattle Times reports it’s the latest in a series of setbacks for Eyman in an investigation in which Attorney General Bob Ferguson claims Eyman violated state campaign-finance laws and used his initiative drives to enrich himself.
Eyman has twice been held in contempt of court for refusing to cooperate with court rules.
He faces a potential lifetime ban on running the finances of political committees.
Eyman has filed for bankruptcy, is representing himself in the case and argues in court filings that he’s worked hard to satisfy the court.
