PDC imposes $150 fine, suspends $50 for Kitsap County candidate who missed C-4 filing
Summary
Matthew Macklin, a Kitsap County commissioner candidate, did not dispute staff's allegations that he failed to file a post-election C-4 report. The commission imposed a $150 penalty and suspended $50 if he files the missing report and pays $100 within 20 days.
Chair Jay Leach found that staff had established a violation by Matthew Macklin for failing to file the post-election C-4 report and imposed a $150 penalty. "I am going to find a violation. I'm going to impose a penalty of a $150. I'm going to suspend $50 of that," Leach said, conditioning the suspension on Macklin filing the missing report and paying $100 within 20 days of the written order.
Macklin, a candidate for Kitsap County commissioner, told the commission he did not dispute the facts and said he would have accepted an earlier settlement but missed the deadline. "I do wanna say that, I don't dispute the facts," Macklin said during his sworn testimony. The chair offered the 20-day window (noting staff typically allows 30 days) as the remedy with the suspended portion of the fine contingent on compliance.
