A green light from bankruptcy judge: AG Ferguson can pursue Eyman
A federal bankruptcy judge has given a green light for Attorney General Bob Ferguson to go ahead with his civil suits against initiative promoter Tim Eyman, despite Eyman's recent filing for bankruptcy.
Judge Marc Barreca ruled that the AG's suit against Eyman, including its claim he took $308,000 in kickbacks from a signature gathering firm, is exempt from provisions of the federal regulatory code that halt civil actions against persons who file for bankruptcy.
"Mr. Eyman has engaged in a pattern of seeking to avoid accountability," Ferguson said in a statement released by his office.
"From refusing to fully cooperate with our investigation, repeatedly failing to comply with court orders, not answering questions under oath and now using bankruptcy process in a bad faith effort to delay our case, Mr. Eyman continued to engage in a pattern of stall tactics to avoid accountability to the people and the state for his misdeeds. It's not going to work."
