Alternet: “The State Board of Elections has reached a settlement agreement with Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s political committee, Friends of Mark Robinson, that includes a fine of $35,000 for hundreds of campaign finance violations committed during the 2020 election cycle. The fine follows a nearly four-year investigation prompted by a February 2021 complaint by veteran government watchdog Bob Hall.
The violations, detailed in a September 2024 audit report, include illegal anonymous and cash donations, contributions beyond the legal limits, undisclosed sources, improper cash payments, misreported expenses, and improperly reported contributions. While some of the violations resulted in fines, others did not.”
