ST. PAUL (AP) - State Representative Matt Entenza won't be fined for failing to be upfront about all 2005 campaign spending while he was gearing up to run for attorney general.
The Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board decided against punishing Entenza. The Democratic candidate dropped out of the attorney general's race in July amid reports that he secretly commissioned opposition research on current D-F-L Attorney General Mike Hatch.
The campaign board says a complaint by Republicans became moot when Entenza filed an amended report this month documenting more than 70-thousand dollars in previously undisclosed spending.
An attorney for Entenza said the former House D-F-L leader felt vindicated by the board's decision.
