Settlement would lessen Maes fines

Attorneys for gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes and a Grand Junction man who filed a campaign finance complaint against him are expected to sign an agreement today that will end the matter.

Grand Junction attorney Erik Groves said he and his client, Christopher Klitzke, have agreed to drop the case if Maes agreed to pay a lesser fine.

So instead of the $27,000 fine Maes initially had agreed to pay in his response to Klitzke’s complaint, the two sides have agreed to a $17,500 fine, Groves said.    – More –
