#1: Friends for Tim Echols violated the following statute: O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41(a)(3) by accepting an in-kind contribution beyond the $6,100 contribution limit as set by the State Ethics Commission. Along with $4,262.69 in payments to own company, Gold Dome Consulting, Mr. Echols’ June 30, 2010 Campaign Disclosure Report also reported a $6,100 in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting for “Literature drop in neighborhoods.” The July 1, 2010, Atlanta Journal-Constitution article TeenPact kids’ campaign efforts raise questions, outlines how John Oxendine’s gubernatorial campaign paid Mr. Echols’ company, Gold Dome Consulting, for the “services of 150 home-schooled Christian teenagers.” The article also detailed how these children were working for both Mr. Oxendine’s and Mr. Echols’ campaigns, respectively. In fact, Mr. Oxendine reported an expense of $12,500 to Mr. Echols’ company, setting the fair market value for these services. Mr. Echols however, only disclosed a $6,100 in-kind contribution for analogous services. #2: Friends for Tim Echols violated the following statute: O.C.G.A. § 21-5-34(b)(1)(A) by failing to disclose an additional in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting. As previously stated, Mr. Echols’ June 30, 2010 Campaign Disclosure Report reported a $6,100 in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting for “Literature drop in neighborhoods.” The July 1, 2010, Atlanta Journal-Constitution article TeenPact kids’ campaign efforts raise questions, details how John Oxendine’s gubernatorial campaign paid Mr. Echols’ company, Gold Dome Consulting, for the “services of 150 home-schooled Christian teenagers.” The article also detailed how these children were working for both Mr. Oxendine’s campaign and also Mr. Echols’ campaign for Public Service Commission. Mr. Echols charged $12,500 to Oxendine Working for Georgia, Inc. for the same services his own campaign received from his company, Gold Dome Consulting. Mr. Echols only disclosed a $6,100 in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting for these services. The $12,500 expenditure by Oxendine Working for Georgia set the market value of services rendered by Gold Dome Consulting. By only disclosing the $6,100 in-kind contribution, Friends for Tim Echols failed to disclose an additional $6,400 in-kind contribution. #3: Friends for Tim Echols violated the following statute: O.C.G.A. § 21-5-34(b)(1)(B) by failing to disclose an expense incurred on April 29, 2010 of $3,493.57, constituting candidate qualifying fee made payable to the Georgia Republican Party. The qualifying fee was reported accurately as a contribution by the Georgia Republican Party in their June 30, 2010 Campaign Disclosure, as required by law. Mr. Echols and his campaign committee did not and have not properly disclosed this expense. SEC FORM CCDR REV 06/2009 FILER ID: C2010000204 State of Georgia Campaign Contribution Disclosure Report 1.
