Washington might pay $5.7 million to a local thrift store chain.
Earlier this year, a King County judge ruled that the state Attorney General’s Office violated the company’s First Amendment rights when Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleged it was deceiving consumers by presenting itself as a charitable nonprofit organization when, in reality, it is a for-profit corporation.
According to court documents, the office would not meet with Value Village during the trial despite the store’s efforts to do so. “State’s claims under the Consumer Protection Act violated First Amendment right to engage in constitutionally protected charitable solicitation,” the ruling explained. Earlier this year, the Washington Supreme Court handed the thrift store chain a unanimous win in the long-running legal fight with Ferguson, finding that its marketing practices constitute protected free speech.
