Ballard Takes Fine for Late Reports

His campaign accepted the penalty without contesting it, despite the fine coming from the very office he’s seeking to lead. The controversy isn’t over: his campaign also faced accusations of fake signatures from a former volunteer, adding fuel to an already heated race.
