AG settles with GOP officials in PAC flap

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden says his office has finalized a settlement with two Republican officials accused of hiding the source of campaign contributions to a highly scrutinized political action committee. Wasden announced Friday that he was dismissing the misdemeanor charges against former Bonneville GOP Chairman Doyle Beck and former congressional candidate M.C. “Chick” Heileson after the two both agreed to pay a $250 civil fine.The settlement also includes Beck and Heileson requesting that the Integrity in Government PAC, based in northern Idaho, file an amended report with the Idaho Secretary of State’s office. The report would show that Heileson’s $12,000 donation to the PAC in 2014 was made with a loan from Beck./ Kimberlee Kruesi , AP. More here .
