San Diego-based Arrowhead General Insurance Agency Inc. was fined $400 by the Fair Political Practices Commission for failing to register as major campaign donors.

Arrowhead made contributions totaling $10,000 to the Chuck Quackenbush Committee on Jan. 18, 2000, according to Roman Porter, spokesman for the FPPC.

“They were fined for a failure to timely file a major donor campaign statement” during the calendar year of 2000, Porter said –

a first-tier violation. The fine was one of many decisions that came out of the FPPC’s regular monthly meeting on April 6 in Sacramento.

The FPPC, which was created by the Political Reform Act of 1974, investigates alleged violations of the Political Reform Act, imposes penalties when appropriate, and assists state and local agencies in developing and enforcing conflict-of-interest codes.

Among its areas of regulation is campaign financing and spending; financial conflicts of interest; lobbyist registration and reporting; post-governmental employment; mass mailings at public expense; and gifts and honoraria given to public officials and candidates.
