Barras: D.C.'s campaign finance enforcers?

The D.C. Office of Campaign Finance’s audit of Michael Brown’s 2012 re-election committee is a fascinating read — although it underscores what many already knew: Financial management and oversight is not the at-large councilman’s forte.

It already had been reported that more than $113,000 was stolen from Brown’s campaign — allegedly by his former campaign treasurer, Hakim Sutton, who, through his lawyer has denied that allegation. But the OCF’s audit staff found an additional $12,329.48 of unexplained expenditures and $8,466.60 in previously unreported contributions.
