Union City planning commission​ers fined for laundering council race contributi​ons

Two Union City planning commissioners have been fined for laundering campaign contributions during the 2010 City Council race.

Gurnam "Gary" Singh and Jo Ann Lew violated state law when they contributed money to Singh's election committee in the name of other people, the Fair Political Practices Commission has ruled.

Singh and Lew, treasurer of the Gary Singh for City Council 2010 committee, waived their rights to a hearing and agreed to pay a $15,000 fine, the agency said in a ruling posted online Monday.
