OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Freedom Foundation is suing Thurston County Auditor Mary Hall, saying she didn't make a good faith effort to find an opposing argument for school levy and bond ballot measures in the February voters' pamphlet.
A lawyer for the conservative think tank, Dave Roland, told The Olympian (http://bit.ly/MSQ3CK ) it sent a letter to every auditor in the state offering to help find authors for local measures. A copy of the Dec. 19 letter is included with the lawsuit.
Hall says her office didn't' receive any letters in opposition to ballot measures before the voter pamphlet deadline.
Hall says her office reaches out for opposing views but it's not unusual to have none.
