Official Fined $24,000 for Campaign Violations
Councilman Arturo Reyes has been fined $24,000 for violating campaign laws in his 1998 race, the Fair Political Practices Commission announced Friday.
The action also names the Committee to Elect Arturo Reyes. The violations included failing to report campaign contributions, making campaign expenditures with non-campaign money, and “failure to maintain detailed records and accounts necessary to prepare campaign statements.”
Reyes, who could not be reached for comment, has been on the City Council since 1997. He served a one-year term as mayor last year.
