Salt In the Wound

Ethics board fines Entenza campaign $28,105:

Matt Entenza's aborted campaign for attorney general has been fined $28,105 by the state campaign ethics board for taking excess contributions from special interests and large individual donors.

Poor guy, where's he going to come up with $28k? Oh yeah, poor guy with a rich wife. His weekly allowance should just about cover it.

UPDATE-- Nathan e-mails to ponder:

The article said Entenza will fight the fine in court. He'll be represented by his lawyer, identified in the news reports as Alan Weinblatt.

Presumably, the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board will be represented by its lawyer. Not identified in the article.

Would that be . . . . . . . . . Mike Hatch?

Hmmmmmm, any chance that could be perceived as a personal conflict of interest, or an abuse of public office for personal revenge? Any appearance of impropriety here at all?
