Rep Smith Fined for Ethics Violations | Seattle News

Greg Smith faces a $12,000 ethics fine after approving his own time cards, pocketing a $66K pay raise via a federal grant scheme, and approving 54 days of unpaid vacation — all while ignoring board demands to return the money.

Smith denies wrongdoing as a civil suit looms — a case that underscores how public office can’t be weaponized for personal gain.
