A quick search of John Ficca picked up the following at
http://www.lni.wa.gov/news/2000/pr000214a.asp 

" TUMWATER - An Idaho employer must pay more than $95,000 in unpaid wages to
12 current and former employees in the Spokane area according to a
settlement agreement announced today by the Department of Labor and
Industries.

John Ficca, of Moscow, Idaho, owner of Art's Electric, Inc., also has been
permanently prohibited from bidding on or performing work on future public
works projects in Washington. Ficca also does business as Palouse Country
Electric and U Cities Contracting.

The permanent "debarment" - the first of its kind in an L&I prevailing wage
case - resulted from charges that Ficca failed to pay his employees the
correct rate of prevailing wage for the work they performed on six different
public works projects for Washington State University and for the City of
Pullman from 1995 through 1997."

Hmmm.

Mark Solomon stated:

"As I'm always interested in who is contributing big $$ in elections, I
looked it up and saw Palouse Rentals and Construction had donated $1000 to
GMA. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I did not know that name. A quick
search on the Sec'y of State website gives up John Ficca as the president of
the corporation, which, by the way, has been administratively dissolved by
the Sec'y of State for failure to file annual reports since 2004."

It would be most interesting to see on what account the contribution check
(or automated funds transfer) was submitted against.

If the contribution was honestly submitted by the company reflected in the
Financial Disclosure Report, I am guessing that the Idaho Secretary of state
would be interested in the matter.

If the contribution was fraudulently submitted by a defunct company, I am
just as certain that the people of Moscow would be most interested in the
names of the people making such a contribution.

Things that make you go . . .

Hmmm.

Seeya round town, Moscow.
