The Concerned Taxpayers of Kootenai County (“CTKC”) and its treasurer Kathleen Sims have sent a letter of apology to the city of Coeur d’Alene and paid a civil penalty of $2,500.00 to settle a lawsuit filed by the city in 2008 over the CTKC and Ms. Sim’s failure to comply with campaign reporting laws in the 2007 Coeur d’Alene municipal election. CTKC distributed a campaign flyer in the 2007 Coeur d’Alene municipal election without complying with the laws regulating fund raising, expenses and accounting for such political activity. Ms. Sims was the political treasurer for CTKC and was responsible for compliance/City of Coeur d’Alene news release. Earlier post here.
