Finding 5.1: Investigation found Yung and three colleagues violated the Open Public Meetings Act in removing a councilor from the C-TRAN board MODERATE
- What happened
- On March 12, 2025, Yung was one of four Clark County councilors who voted to remove Councilor Michelle Belkot from the county's seat on the C-TRAN Board of Directors and replace her with Councilor Wil Fuentes, after Belkot signaled she would vote against C-TRAN funding light rail operations. A Skamania County Sheriff's Office investigation, requested because of the conflict of interest, concluded that the council and County Manager Kathleen Otto violated Washington's Open Public Meetings Act, and the detective recommended that Council Chair Sue Marshall and councilors Fuentes, Yung, and Matt Little be fined. The Thurston County prosecuting attorney reviewed the report and on April 2, 2026 declined to file criminal charges, saying the facts did not support a charge. Belkot's separate civil lawsuit over her removal was dismissed by a judge in March 2026.

- Moderate
- Defense
- No charges or fines were filed against Yung. The reviewing prosecutor declined to prosecute, and the council has said its two C-TRAN seats belong to the council as a whole and that a representative is expected to carry the council's direction. Yung has characterized the action as a governance question about how board representatives follow council direction rather than a personal violation.
