Prosecutor charges 13 with campaign finance violations

The Maryland State Prosecutor?s office has filed criminal charges in Anne Arundel County District Court against 13 people from around the state who prosecutors say have neglected to file proper campaign finance reports.

Those named represent a total of four individual campaigns and three political action committees as either chairmen or treasurers. The accounts range from House of Delegates campaigns to the Bethlehem Steel Maryland PAC. Some of the campaigns skipped filings, others had not filed in almost two years. One campaign, the Friends of David Hanna, has never filed a report since it was organized in January.
