The State Ethics Commission Wednesday accused a conservative political action committee of 61 violations of Georgia law in a case stemming from the collapse of First Liberty Building & Loan.
The Georgia Republican Assembly PAC failed to report tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of campaign expenditures, failed to file numerous required campaign reports and failed to properly register as an independent political committee before accepting contributions, according to a complaint released Wednesday.
