In recent years the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) has been a controversial rightwing player in Washington State elections. The funding structure of BIAW's political actions have always seemed questionable to me.B'ham groups suing Building Industry Association
Two Bellingham groups are filing a class action lawsuit, accusing the state's largest builders' lobby of taking money from small businesses to support politically conservative candidates. Bellingham's "A-1 Builders" along with the non-profit group "ReSources for Sustainable Living" accuse the Building Industry Association of Washington of skimming millions-of-dollars off the top of its Workers Compensation insurance refunds. A spokesperson for the B-I-A says its members know how the association spends its money.
