Investigators for the state's elections watchdog are recommending that the most recent campaign finance violation allegations against Mayor Dan Pike be dismissed. The state's Realtors Quality of Life Political Action Committee, however, doesn't appear to be as fortunate. State Public Disclosure Commission investigators and the Realtors have tentatively agreed to a $130,000 fine based on a complaint by Todd Donovan, a Western Washington University political science professor.
