Molnar violated campaign finance rules, examiner finds

by: Jay Stevens

Ah, good ol' Brad Molnar - the Montana Republican party's highest ranked statewide officeholder. Now, LiTW has written a bit about the Public Service Commissioner, mainly about Molnar's complete ignorance - or contempt? - for campaign finance law. This is a man who was, after all, accused of soliciting money from the corporations he oversees for campaign literature, then huffed and puffed through the subsequent investigations, including a ludicrous claim that his government email account was private - after using it to solicit work.

Did I say "accuse"? Well, the accusation is now looking like a violation:

Public Service Commissioner Brad Molnar violated state ethics laws by accepting illegal donations and using state office equipment for campaign purposes, a hearings examiner found.

University of Montana professor William Corbett recommended that Commissioner of Political Practices Dennis Unsworth fine Molnar $5,750 and require him to pay for part of the cost of the proceedings against him because Molnar refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, was evasive, attacked the complainant and caused delays in the proceedings.

Such a flagrant misuse of his office and a contempt for his constituency and the general public should, under normal circumstances, lead to a tearful resignation. Of course, we're talking Brad Molnar here. Expect him to blame everyone else.

Hmmm (0.00 / 0)

A Democrat (William Corbett) thinks Brad should be fined $5750.00, while thinking that the Good Guv (Schweitzer) deserved a $750.00 fine, gotta give Corbett credit, he's a good Dem, isn't he? Pure Politics.

Ahhhhhhh!!! (0.00 / 1)

And agree, actually.  This was at least the fun kind of spam.  I want to thank you for cleaning up that infection in the diaries as well.
