Other LanguagesOLYMPIA — The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) filed a response in the recall case against Auditor Troy Kelley today in Pierce County Superior Court.
The AGO is representing Kelley on one of the three allegations against him in the recall: that he did not properly investigate Sound Transit and failed to report to work.
The AGO does not represent Auditor Kelley on two other matters raised in the recall petition that do not arise from Kelley’s official acts: that he allegedly pressured his office to hire a business associate, and that he must live in Olympia.
The office also does not and will not represent Kelley in the matter of his federal indictment on criminal charges.
A hearing will take place Friday at 1:30 p.m. in Pierce County Superior Court, Room 383, 930 Tacoma Ave. S., Tacoma, Wash.
The AGO’s filings are available here and here.
