Oct. 22—A ballot committee which supported the unsuccessful East Cobb cityhood movement in the May primary election has been fined $5,000 by the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission.
The fine was levied after the ethics commission found the Committee for Cityhood in East Cobb violated state campaign finance law by not filing a campaign contribution disclosure report 15 days before the election.
In a consent order approved by the commission last month, the committee agreed to pay the fine and make the required disclosures. Cityhood committee president Craig Chapin signed off on the order.
