The Illinois State Board of Elections voted to accept a $1,650 settlement offer from Laciada de los Gantos PAC in a case involving campaign reporting and civil penalties. General Counsel described the committee as low-dollar and recommended acceptance of the offer.
Arnej said the recommendation was to accept the settlement and explained the proposal met the applicable benchmarks for low-dollar committees. The motion to accept counsel’s recommendation was moved and seconded and passed on a roll-call vote.
Board materials characterize the committee as having limited funds; staff said the settlement amount represented an appropriate compromise that resolves the civil penalties without further enforcement expense.
