From the TriCityHerald:
The state Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the state’s Public Disclosure Commission over public service announcements featuring Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna.
The party, and Democratic challenger John Ladenburg, argue they’re not pubic service announcements at all, even thought they look like them. Ladenburg cites one airing throughout the Comcast cable TV service area that features McKenna and McGruff the Crime Dog talking about identity theft.
He alleges the ads are running with great frequency and discuss issues that parallel what McKenna talks about in his campaign.
Ladenburg in a press release “acknowledges that there are grey areas in the law around Public Service Advertising.”
