Like you and me, only better
OK, they’re actually nothing like you and me but:
State records show the Attorney General’s Office hasn’t collected more than a quarter-million dollars in campaign finance fines in nearly four years.
The unpaid fines, many of them $10,000 each, were levied by the Registry of Election Finance. The Registry forwards to the Attorney General all uncollected fines after 30 days.
Attorney General spokeswoman Sharon Curtis-Flair says the office sends notices to violators and sometimes offers payment plans. If the fine is unresolved, Curtis-Flair says it goes to Chancery Court.
Noticeably missing from the story is the people who owe the fines. What gives? Which campaigns violated the rules and were fined? Why are the offenders not being arrested? Inquiring minds want to know.
