King County GOP facing possible legal woes

As Goldy reported on Saturday and Postman picked up this morning, the King County Republicans may be a whole heap of regulatory trouble.
The King County Republicans filed numerous reports late; in one campaign account 74 percent of contributions and 70 percent of expenditures were filed late in 2006. And some came in 268 days late. Reports that were filed were incomplete. The PDC staff investigation found that the party failed to list employer and occupation information for 91 percent of donors required to submit that information. That information was filed last week.
All of which prompts Goldy to ask this morning:
The Seattle Times David Postman picks up the story this morning on his blog, but I find it more than a bit surprising that our local papers have gone to press three times since the report was issued Friday afternoon, without a single column inch of coverage.
It is odd, and Goldy quickly comes up with a short list of previous stories about past Democratic Party run-ins with the PDC.

Who knows, maybe the weekend meant that nobody really noticed. (Trying to be charitable rather than a smart alec, in this particular instance.) It'll probably get picked up by AP now, right?
