OLYMPIA, Wash. AP – A lawsuit alleging campaign finance violations is a political ruse meant to keep Republican candidate Dino Rossi off the campaign trail in the crucial final weeks of a hotly contested governor’s race, Rossi said Monday.
In papers filed with King County Superior Court, Rossi asks a judge to quash a subpoena that would force him to testify under oath about allegations that he illegally coordinated fundraising with a major supporter, the Building Industry Association of Washington.
