Group reprimanded for campaign law violations

Thursday, June 2, 2005 | 9:32 a.m.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- State campaign regulators have reprimanded the organization that promoted a Riverside casino project for violating campaign laws.

The Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board voted May 19 to issue a letter of reprimand to Washington County Citizens for Good Jobs, saying the group failed to file required reports disclosing debts or estimated debts.

A letter of reprimand is the mildest sanction that can be levied by the board, which has the power to fine political organizations for violations.

Catfish Bend Casinos, the company behind the development of the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort, was the sole contributor to the campaign to pass a casino referendum in Washington County in 2004.
