Something important happened for Free Speech today in, of all places, WA State: State Supreme Court rules for free speech State Supreme Court News soundpolitics.com by Stefan Sharkansky, 08:45 AM The State Supreme Court ruled in favor of KVI, John Carlson and Kirby Wilbur in the San Juan County v. No New Gas Tax case. We hold that RCW 42.17.090 did not require NNGT to disclose the value of KVI's radio broadcasts supporting the initiative campaign as an in-kind contribution. The statutory media exemption, RCW 42.17.020(15)(b)(iv), excludes from the definition of "contribution" political advocacy for or against a political campaign by the hosts of a regularly scheduled talk show, broadcast by a radio station that is not controlled by a candidate or political committee.
