Alaska: North Slope Borough Mayor hit with large fine for "egregious" violations of campaign finance laws

Charlotte Brower, who is already facing a April 5 recall for misusing borough funds to, among other things, send grandchildren to basketball camp in California, was hit with a $34,970 penalty over her failure to file a disclosure report. Brower's husband and campaign manager, Eugene Brower, was a former borough mayor in the 1980s whose own term ended with two of his key advisers going to prison for accepting kickbacks.
