Kennebec Journal reports on a fine imposed on Fed Up With Taxes. Their lawyer is taking the blame.
The ethics commission on Monday fined Fed Up With Taxes $10,000 for failing to file two campaign finance reports on time.
The Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices voted 4-0 to impose the maximum fine on the political action committee.
Portland attorney William Dale, who was hired by Fed Up With Taxes to handle the campaign finance reports, told the commission he did all the filings himself.
He asked for a waiver of the fine.
“I have no excuse other than I forgot,” he said.
