California: Martha Escutia

Two former state politicians received fines from the California Fair Political Practices Commission Thursday, in both cases for campaign finance violations from several years ago.

Former Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat recalled from office in 2003, received a $4,950 fine for his anti-recall campaign committee's failure to properly disclose accrued expenses and failing to disclose in a timely fashion a late contribution made to the committee.

The fine also was for failure to maintain required records for some notices of contributions of $5,000 or more in that election.
