Supervisor to Return Film Agency Donation
County Supervisor Mike Antonovich will return the $1,000 in campaign money he received from the film development agency now under investigation by the district attorney’s office for possible misuse of public funds.
The Entertainment Industry Development Corp., a quasi-public agency that provides film permits and tries to keep movie production in L.A., gave nearly $200,000 to candidates in the last four years, including politicians such as Antonovich who sit on its board.
Antonovich initially had defended the 1999 contribution, but in an interview Tuesday said he would send the money back.
