Under the terms of the settlement, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the state will each receive $600,000. The remaining $150,000 will pay the fees for the prevailing law firm, Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission announced on Thursday a $1.35 million settlement with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for misusing public funds on campaigns.
