SUBJECT: |
Failure to accurately report loan; failure to file
disclosure reports electronically; failure to file amended Statement
of Organization; candidate loans from other than personal funds |
| |
DISPOSITION: |
Reason to believe, but took no further action*[re:
failure to file amended Statement of Organization; failure to accurately
report loan]
No reason to believe*[re: failure to file disclosure reports electronically;
candidate loans from other than personal funds]
The complaint contends that the candidate committee failed to accurately
report loans made by the candidate to the committee. If they had
properly reported those loans then the committee would have exceeded
the $50,000 threshold thereby triggering the electronic filing requirement.
The complaint also alleges that the Candidate may have used funds
other than personal funds to make loans to the Committee. The Commission
found that the Committee had failed to file an amended Statement
of Organization when it changed treasurers. The Commission also
found the Committee failed to list the specific loan incurrence
dates in Schedule C of its Quarterly Report. The Commission found
there was no reason to believe that the committee was required to
file reports electronically, as it appeared that they did not meet
the threshold for electronic filing. The Commission found there
was no reason to believe the candidate used funds other than his
own to make loans to the committee. |

SUBJECT: |
Failure to identify and disclose affiliation status; excessive contributions |

DISPOSITION: |
(a-b) No reason to believe* [re: failure to identify
and disclose affiliation status; excessive contributions]
(c-k) No reason to believe* [re: any provision of the Act]
The complaint alleges that VIEW PAC and Pryce Project, by virtue
of their relationship to Representative Pryce, are affiliated, failed
to report their affiliation, and made and received contributions
that exceeded a shared limit. The complaint similarly alleges that
eight federal candidate committees received excessive aggregate
contributions from the two political action committees. The Commission
found there was no reason to believe that any of the respondents
violated the Act. |
