Prestonsburg Mayor Fined For Violation of Election Laws
In an agreement made with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, Prestonsburg Mayor Jerry Fannin will pay a $5,000 fine after a decision made this past summer by registry board members that he violated five campaign finance laws while running for re-election in 2006. The ruling stated Fannin violated the law when he accepted in-kind contributions in the form of bumper stickers from T&K Signs, failed to report various disbursements, one totaling $5,618, and submitting false statements in relation to the campaign and its finances.
