DENVER (AP) — The Denver Post reports that elected officials, lobbyists, and political candidates and campaigns owe the secretary of state's office more than $500,000 in fines, mostly for failing to properly file paperwork disclosing their donors.
Campaigns are fined $50 a day and lobbyists pay $10 daily for late filings.
The Denver Post reports that among those owing money are the Conservative Caucus of Delta County, with $67,900 in fines.
State Rep. Jack Pommer has been late filing paperwork too and filed his January paperwork in July. This summer the Democrat from Boulder paid $15,000 in accumulated fines. He paid the remaining $9,120 after The Denver Post contacted him last week.
