OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Public Disclosure Commission is taking a closer look at a city-wide mailer by the city of Olympia that encourages residents to vote “No” on I-976.

In an email, Eyman said the mailing was blatantly illegal.

The mailer arrived in Olympia mailboxes this week, ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

PDC spokeswoman Kim Bradford says that while city councils can express a collective decision to support or oppose measures, state law prohibits them from using public resources to promote or oppose measures.
