National political activist George Soros has agreed to pay $8,000 in fines to California’s ethics watchdog agency for failing to properly disclose $500,000 in contributions he made to support a state ballot measure that would have curtailed the use of three-strikes sentencing laws against criminals.
Soros, a resident of New York, made the contributions to the nonprofit Drug Policy Action Network, which used it to support Proposition 66 on California’s 2004 ballot. Voters defeated the ballot measure, which would have sharply restricted the three-strikes law.
