Scandals & crimes ledger

resolvedMinnesota CFB Conciliation Agreement – Lobbyist Contribution During Legislative Session
campaign-finance · 2018-03-14 · Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board · Conciliation agreement entered; $300 contribution returned; $100 civil penalty deposited to General Fund
The Kelly Morrison for Minnesota House committee self-reported accepting a $300 contribution from Sarah Stoesz, a registered lobbyist, on March 14, 2018, while the Minnesota legislature was in regular session. This violated Minn. Stat. §10A.273, subd. 1(a), which prohibits state candidate committees from accepting lobbyist contributions during a regular session. The committee treasurer stated neither Morrison nor the treasurer knew Stoesz was a registered lobbyist, and the check did not include her lobbyist registration number as required by §10A.15, subd. 5. The contribution was returned on July 26, 2018, after the 90-day window had lapsed, making it deemed accepted under §10A.15, subd. 3. The Minnesota CFB entered a conciliation agreement (document #1461/1462) with a $100 penalty to the General Fund.
