Dayton’s use of plane doesn’t result in fineMinnesotas campaign finance board found that DFL Gov. Mark Dayton violated state law with late reports on his political use of the state plane, but said the violations did not rise to the level of a fine. <a>gw2 gold</a> The board, in dealing with a complaint from the Minnesota Jobs Coalition, did not rule on whether Dayton could appropriately use the state plane for political trips. The issue arose late last year, after Dayton used the state plane on several outstate trips, making both official and campaign stops. Months later, he paid for the use of the plane, the Star Tribune reported. The Minnesota Jobs Coalition, a political committee run by Republican operative Ben Golnik, also found that Dayton made additional political trips using the state plane last year but that he did not acknowledge or reimburse the state according to his 2012 or 2013 reports. <a>guild wars 2 gold</a> After the Jobs Coalition complaint, Dayton, who voluntarily reports his spending and raising on a more frequent basis than required by state law, amended his campaign finance reports and acknowledged that the payments or debts should have been reported earlier. The bipartisan Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure board said it did not believe Dayton had purposely left the cost of the trips unreported, noting Star Tribune reports on some of the planned payments. The record before the Board points to both inadvertent human error and a misunderstanding of the reporting requirements for campaign expenditures, the board found. The board found that Daytons year-end report violated state law because of its omissions, but said that given the campaigns correction of those reporting errors, no fine would be levied. We are pleased with the boards findings, Dayton campaign manager Katharine Tinucci said. Golnik pointed out that the board did find Dayton had violated state law with his late reports on the money owed for the use of the state plane. Minnesota taxpayers should be very troubled that their governor used a state-owned plane for campaign events, he said. The Office of the Legislative Auditor is also working on an audit of the governors office, which will examine his political use of state resources, according to Legislative Auditor James Nobles. That audit is expected to be complete later this year. Minnesotas tax revenues fell slightly below projection in August, but state officials said the dip could be due to factors other than the states level of economic activity. Revenues for the month were nearly $1.3 billion, $26 million (or 2 percent) less than forecast. For the fiscal year that began July 1, overall revenues are 2 percent below projected levels. Minnesota Management and Budget, which oversees the states budget, said changes in the dates that receipts are received could cause monthly variations. <a>guild wars 2 gold</a> xboter 2014 |
