THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
A record $5.2 million fine was levied this afternoon by the Ohio Elections Commission against a pro-charter-school group that helped elect Republicans across Ohio in 2006.
The whopping fine fell on All Children Matter, a Michigan-based political action committee that took and spent some $870,000 in illegal campaign contributions funneled through Virginia, which has no limits on such money. David Brennan, Ohio’s biggest charter-school operator, has donated $200,000 to the group.
The bipartisan Elections Commission, with a 5-0 vote, agreed with the secretary of state’s argument that All Children Matter violated Ohio campaign finance limits – which at the time said a PAC registered in Ohio could accept only $10,000 from a single entity. |
