AUGUSTA ( AP) — The Maine ethics commission has ruled that state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin should not be fined for failing to fully report his income on a disclosure report to the state.
The Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices also voted 4-1 Wednesday that Poliquin had filed an incomplete report, but had since amended it to make it complete.
The case stems from a Maine Democratic Party complaint alleging that Poliquin did not fully disclose the sources of his 2010 income in an annual statement filed with the commission.
Poliquin, of Georgetown and a Republican, says he intended to fully comply with the reporting requirements and that he had no income that created a conflict of interest. Poliquin says the complaint against him is politically motivated.
