Councilman to Pay Fine From FPPC
The state Fair Political Practices Commission voted Thursday to ratify $35,000 in fines against L.A. City Councilman Tony Cardenas and two political aides for failing to properly disclose $87,956 in expenses incurred by a political committee he had when he was a state assemblyman.
Cardenas agreed to pay the fines to avoid further penalties, but plans to appeal the charges that he violated state disclosure requirements in not itemizing bills for golf course fees, meals and expensive hotel rooms.
