The Alaska Public Offices Commission is fining North Slope Borough Mayor Charlotte Brower $34,460 dollars for failing to file her annual disclosure report for 2014. In the investigation into her campaign for re-election last year, Brower and her staff refused to provide information repeatedly requested by APOC.
According to Alaska Dispatch News, the fine is the largest the agency has ever levied against a candidate. Pat Forgey reported the story for the newspaper this week and joins Alaska News Nightly host Lori Townsend.
