Mr. Phil Stutzman

Olympia, Washington 98504
Dear Mr. Stutzman:
My review of Mr. Bellingham City Council member Terrill Bornemann’s PDC reports have revealed what appear to be violations of RCW 42.17.010 (1);42.17.080.(3).
Between the period of April 24, 2007, through October 6, 2007, C3 Forms filed by Terrill Bornemann document 94 contributions of which 88 (94%) were filed late in violation of the PDC reporting deadlines.
In terms of dollars contributed to Mr. Bornemann, late reports were filed for $8,015.00 (95%) of the $8,415.00 received during the same time period. Many contributions were reported two to three weeks late, some as much as 2 months late. I am including in my complaint, a summary of all contributions from April 24, 2007, through October 6, 2007 and an itemized list of Terrill Bornemann’s Violations of Public Disclosure Requirements.
Several other technical errors also appear on the C4’s, such as not filing for the correct office. (Mr. Bornemann filed for Community Council Member instead of City Council Member, 5th Ward; City of Bellingham). Finally, he listed incorrect information regarding a Primary and its result. I may be filing additional complaints, based on further research into Mr. Bornemann’s filings.
Given the nature of Mr. Bornemann’s history of late filings, his mistake in his initial filings regarding which office he is running for, I ask that you immediately investigate my complaint and levy fines and penalties as appropriate.
Sincerely,
Elisabeth Britt
