OLYMPIA, Washington: Yesterday, Family PAC filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Tacoma. Family PAC is requesting that the court allow the PAC to accept contributions of more than $5,000 and to be exempt from disclosing donor's names. Family PAC is an opponent of Washington Referendum 71, which is scheduled to appear on the ballot this November 3rd. According to campaign finance laws in Washington, no contributions over $5,000 may be made during the 21-day period prior to the election. The group has not yet registered with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission.^[1]
