By overzealous Democrats.  In a press release dated tomorrow and already picked up on by the AP, Dino Rossi has stepped down as leader of Forward Washington Foundation because fundraising for the foundation is going down due to the Democrat PDC investigation.  As the man said, "I said when the Foundation was formed that I want it to remain active regardless of what happens in my life. As such, the best thing I can do right now is to remove myself as President."

Moreover, Forward Washington also said:

"The Governor's political agents filed a baseless complaint with the Public Disclosure Foundation (PDC) against our non-partisan Foundation. It is baseless because we were informed, in writing, by the PDC that as long as the Foundation did not expend funds to lobby or influence elections we would not be subject to PDC regulation - and we have never engaged in those activities," said [Forward Washington Executive Director Ted] Dahlstrom.

According to David Postman's reporting, the PDC investigation is ongoing and he also interviewed Dino Rossi about the allegations against his foundation + Rossi's future plans.
