Democratic state Rep. Jack Pommer faces thousands of dollars in fines

Ask any candidate for public office what their biggest campaign concerns are, and you’re likely to find fundraising at the top of the list. You’d think, then, that a silver lining to being term-limited would be freedom from the constant pressure to fill campaign coffers.

Not so for Democratic state Rep. Jack Pommer, of Boulder, who for the second time in his final term in office faces thousands of dollars in fines related to his campaign finances. The problem? For whatever reason, Pommer’s campaign has been serially unable to file fundraising reports on time, leading to easily-avoidable but expensive $50-per-day fines. His current tab stands at $9,650 for late reports over the past year.    – More –
