The findings were in response to a request for an advisory opinion from the MLK Commission, claiming that state Auditor Brian Colón, state Treasurer Tim Eichenberg and state Sen. Jacob Candelaria, through public comments criticizing the MLK Commission’s auditing process, exerted undue pressure on, and caused negative publicity of, the MLK Commission.
