Campaign Contribution Irregularities

1. Five contributors contributed $6,500 for Prop A and all they got were two footnotes! Why?
2. No contribution for Dalager was made to VEG, yet VEG printed two “slate” mailers for Dalager! Who paid? Why
was it not reported?
3. Similarly, no one contributed to VEG claiming to oppose Barth, yet a flyer opposing Barth was printed! Why?
Without opposing Barth, the mailer fails to qualify as a slate mailer.
4. Original VEG filing showing Jane Blair’s contribution was attributed to “Jane Blair for Encinitas City Council.”
She was never a candidate and the papers were revised after the UT story.
5. Gaspar’s campaign contribution of $500, as reported in her filings, does not appear in VEG filings.
6. Dalager campaign has no reported contribution to VEG, but is credited on the flier as sponsoring it (with an “*”)
7. These pseudo “slate mailers” appear more like Gaspar/Dalager mailers and do not resemble standard slate
mailers.
8. Encinitas’ campaign ordinances impose a $250 limit on contributions without an exception for slate mailers. Is it
legal or ethical for the Gaspar/Dalager campaign to ignore this limit and give greater influence to the large
developers and business interest donors?

Each of these and several other irregularities will be submitted as complaints to the FPPC after the election.
