DEL.ICIO.USLeebern learns his lesson
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Donald Leebern, long-time member of the University System Board of Regents and a leading political donor to Georgia’s top politicians, has apparently learned his lesson about filing reports on time.
Leebern, a Regent since 1991, was recently fined $37,750 by the State Ethics Commission for failing to file 2005 and 2006 reports disclosing his business interests, as required by law.
The reports showed that over that period, one of Leebern’s businesses sold $90,000 worth of bottled water to the university system he helps govern.
This year, he didn’t take a chance on missing the June 30 deadline. He filed his personal financial disclosure late last week.
By the way, Leebern’s report showed water sales to system schools rose to $52,435, up from $49,794 in 2006 and a little over $40,000 in 2005.
