Judge orders Eyman to reveal where he got nearly $800,000
OLYMPIA — Initiative promoter Tim Eyman on Friday was ordered by a Thurston County judge to reveal the source of nearly $800,000 he claimed were “gifts” and deposited in personal bank accounts.
Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon imposed the sanction on Eyman for his continued refusal to hand over financial and business records sought by the Attorney General’s Office as part of its political corruption lawsuit against the anti-tax advocate.
Dixon granted Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s request for the sanction. In his ruling, Dixon noted that Eyman, who has been in contempt of discovery orders for 19 months, is “willfully and deliberately” defying court orders to turn over documents.
Friday’s ruling is the latest development in the state’s lawsuit accusing Eyman of secretly moving campaign funds between two initiatives in 2012 and receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks from one of the signature-gathering vendors. Eyman denies any wrongdoing.
The suit, filed in March 2017, seeks $2.1 million in penalties and to bar Eyman from managing, controlling, negotiating or directing financial transactions of any kind for any political committee in the future. The trial is now set for July 2020.

Either he's a thief or he's found another sugar daddy.
