OLYMPIA, WA — Controversial anti-tax activist Tim Eyman has been ordered to pay $2.6 million and barred from handling the finances of any other political committee after a judge found him guilty of "numerous" campaign finance law violations.

It's the largest fine the state has ever levied against one person, according to Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Ferguson says the fine is justified, considering Eyman was behind "some of the most egregious campaign finance violations" ever uncovered by his office.

"After twenty years of violating campaign finance laws, including two previous judgments against him, Eyman’s day of reckoning has arrived," said Ferguson in a release celebrating the verdict.

As the Seattle Times reports, Ferguson had been seeking a fine of $7.8 million, which was ultimately whittled down to $2.6 million.

4. Plus, I heard on KIRO

that the state is going to after him for their legal fees. They also said Eyman will naturally appeal.
