On June 21, a Washington state court ordered the Washington State Campaign Finance Commission not to take legal action against a committee that backed a recall, at least for the time being. The recall committee had been the beneficiary of pro bono legal assistance, when it sued the state over donation limits to recall committees. Even though the recall committee won that federal case in U.S. District Court, the Commission now argues that the free legal assistance to the committee was an illegal campaign contribution. The state court recent order tells the Commission to cease its enforcement, at least until the 9th circuit weighs in on the general issue of whether contributions to recall committees can be limited.
