Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. vii
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS:

1.            Appellant, David A. Rogers (hereinafter “Rogers”), hereby moves that the

honorable Court of Appeals reconsider, as a panel or, in the alternative en banc,

and reverse the sanctions 1 order of the district court and render a decision

denying or modifying the sanctions against Rogers. In support of this motion

Rogers shows this honorable Court as follows:

                                                                Statement on Oral Argument

2.            Oral argument is requested because this sanctions argument is legally

complex and the allegations regarding evidence may appear somewhat

perplexing.

                                                                   Statement of the Case

3.            Appellant Rogers represented Dr. Laura Pressley (“Pressley”) in a contested

2014 run-off election for the District 4 City Counsel seat of Austin, Travis County,

Texas. Pressley is a pro se Appellant of said contest in consolidated Appeal

Number 03-15-00368-CV.

4.            Appellee Gregorio "Greg" Casar (“Casar”) is the contestee in Pressley’s

action. The trial court held that Casar won the run-off in said election.

  Throughout this brief, Rogers will refer to “sanctionable conduct.” Rogers does not concede
that the conduct was properly found to be sanctionable, to the extent such concession might bar
further appeal. Rather, Rogers makes a conditional, arguendo concession. Even if the conduct
was sanctionable, the sanction was excessive.

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc          p. 1
5.            Rogers asserts that the trial court, Honorable Dan Mills presiding, erred

in granting sanctions against Rogers. The motion for sanctions was based on

the factual allegations asserted in the 5th and 6th Amended Contests.2

6.            The Trial Court and the panel failed to properly apply pertinent

provisions of TRCP Rule 11 regarding open court agreements, and the plain

language of Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 10 limiting

sanctions awards. In addition, newly created sworn public admissions by

Casar fatally undermine claims as to fees incurred.

                                                                Statement of Facts

7.            Rogers adopts, incorporates, and includes by reference the Statement of

Facts in his Appeal Brief as if fully set forth herein. Rogers adds the following

facts, asking the Court to take judicial notice of public records under Tex. R. Evid.

201(c)(2), created by Casar and sworn by him under penalty of perjury.3 Relevant

  In Casar’s Amended Motion for Sanctions, filed 5-22-2015, Casar complained of the 6th
Amended Contest, which omitted some of the materials complained of in the 5th Amended
Contest. (080715 CR 3-7) Similar complaints were made in the Second and Third Amended
Motion for Sanctions, filed 6-12-2015. (080715 CR 8-12) (072915 CR 1934-1939)

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc         p. 2
excerpts of these official City of Austin records and a summary chart are attached

as an Appendix. Casar’s sworn campaign finance records reveal payment of

$23,350 in legal fees to three law firms and $7,794.44 in legal costs. His sworn

statements show no incurred but unpaid costs and fees

8.            No evidence was presented that Rogers possessed the ability to pay such a

large sanction; therefore, no controverting evidence was produced.                                                                                                              If such

evidence had been put forward, it would have shown that Rogers’ law firm lost

$16,881.04 during the six months it represented Pressley, mainly due to Pressley’s

non-payment of large agreed expenses. See attached Appendix 2. The only

“evidence” pointed to by the trial court and the panel regarding Rogers’ ability to

pay sanctions4 was a post Motion for Summary Judgment settlement agreement,

prior to the conclusion of the sanctions hearing, in which Rogers’ reduced his fee

to Pressley by over $40,000. Rather than evidence of Rogers’ ability to sustain a

																																																																																																																																																																																																				

4
  Ability to pay sanctions awards is a factor required to be considered in assessing sanctions
under the Low v. Henry, 221 S.W.3d 609 (Tex. 2007) decision, which explicates application of
TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE 10.004. The trial court addressed this factor in paragraph 75 of
its decision, saying: “Rogers has assets and income sufficient to be able to pay a monetary
sanction. Specifically, Rogers is a practicing attorney who charges approximately $350/hour.
Additionally, Rogers testified he has the financial ability to be able to forgo legal fees of
approximately $51,500 from Pressley.” Rogers did not testify to that, nor is it true.
The court added in paragraph 148 of its decision, saying: “Rogers has the ability to earn income
sufficient to justify the award of sanctions.” In fact, the sanction combined with the non-
payment by Pressley led Rogers to dramatically downsize his practice, ending employment of
four contractors and reducing his physical space by more than 50%. Pressley’s non-payment on
this case alone was catastrophic for Rogers’ practice, and there is no evidence in the record that
he has the capability to pay the very large additional sanctions ordered by the trial court.

further $50,000 loss, it strongly suggests the truth – that Rogers did NOT have the

ability to pay such an enormous sanction.

                            Statement of Issues Presented

9.    Issue 1. The trial court erred by awarding sanctions against Rogers without

applying the plain statutory language of Chapter 10 of the Civil Practices and

Remedies Code.

10.   Sub issue 1-A: 10.004(b) requires least severe sanctions. “The sanction

must be limited to what is sufficient to deter repetition.”

11.   Sub-issue 1-B: 10.004 (c)(3) limits “an order to pay to the other party” to

amounts actually “incurred” “because of the filing of the pleading or motion.”

Casar’s public filings show the actual “incurred” amount was only $31,144.33. The

sanctions ordered significantly exceeded this amount.

12.   Sub-issue 1-C: 10.0004 (3) limits sanctions to amounts “actually incurred”

“because of the filing of the pleading or motion,” a “but/for” causation standard.

Sanctions must be no more than the amount that actually incurred “because of” the

“sanctionable” portions of the pleading.

13.   Issue 2. The trial court and panel erred in holding that the right to seek

sanctions was not foreclosed and barred by the Rule 11 agreement that all issues

between the parties were resolved at the time the Rule 11 agreement was reached

in open court. The panel omitted from consideration the relevant portion of Rule

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 4
11 that allows such agreements to be made in open court without attorney

signatures.

14.   Issue 3. The trial court and the panel erred in holding that a Cast Vote

Record (“CVR”) is necessarily a Ballot Image. A Ballot Image is a CVR. A tally

sheet is a CVR. A database record is a CVR. But all CVRs are NOT Ballot

Images. Travis County produces Database File Records, which are CVRs, but

which are not Ballot Images. The statutes requires Ballot Images.

                                Summary of Argument

15.   Rogers requests this honorable Appeals Court reverse and render, denying

Casar’s Motion for Sanctions against Rogers.

16.   Issue 1. The trial court and the panel erred by awarding sanctions without

applying the statutory plain language of the Civil Practices and Remedies Code,

Chapter 10.

17.   Sub issue 1-A: 10.004(b) requires least severe sanctions. “The sanction

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 5
must be limited to what is sufficient to deter repetition.” Neither the trial court nor

the panel made a finding that the sanctions imposed were limited to what is

sufficient to deter repetition and no testimony or evidence as to what was necessary

to deter repetition was given in court.

18.   Sub-issue 1-B: 10.004 (c)(3) limits “an order to pay to the other party” to

amounts actually “incurred” “because of the filing of the pleading or motion.”

Casar’s public filings show that only $31,144.44 was actually jncurred. The

sanctions ordered significantly exceed this amount. The maximum award,

assuming all attorney’s fees and all costs actually incurred were solely because of

the filing of “sanctionable” portions of the pleading, therefore, is $31,144.44.

19.   Sub-issue 1-C: 10.0004 (3) limits sanction to amounts “actually incurred”

“because of the filing of the pleading or motion.” This is a but/for causation

standard. The sanctions must be limited to the amount that was incurred “because

of” the “sanctionable” portions of the pleading. The trial court and panel admit

that the CVR argument was not the basis of sanctions, so much of the cost

“actually incurred” was not due to the “sanctionable” conduct. The trial court

conceded this point yet it awarded 100% of “costs,” to Casar; therefore, it has

confessed that the award is in error.

20.   The trial court and panel admit that the CVR argument was not the basis of

sanctions, so much of the cost “actually incurred” was not due to the sanctionable

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 6
conduct. The trial court conceded this point yet it awarded 100% of “costs,” to

Casar; therefore, it has confessed that the award is in error.

21.   Issue 2. The trial court and panel erred in holding that the right to seek

sanctions was not foreclosed and barred by the Rule 11 agreement that all issues

between the parties were resolved for purposes of imposing sanctions. The panel

omitted from its consideration the relevant portion of Rule 11 that allows such

agreements to be made in open court without signature of the attorneys.

22.   Issue 3. The trial court and the panel erred in holding that a Cast Vote

Record (“CVR”) is necessarily a ballot image. A ballot image is a CVR. A tally

sheet is a CVR. A database record is a CVR. But all CVRs are not ballot images.

(All elephants are grey mammals but not all grey mammals are elephants.)

which are not Ballot Images, which are required by statute.

24.           Issue 1. In ordering and upholding the sanctions imposed, the trial court

and the panel ignored the plain language of Texas Civil Practice and Remedies

Code Chapter 10. The courts cited 10.001, 10.002 and 10.004, but did not engage

in analysis of the statute, opting instead to engage the Low5 decision and its

multifarious factors for a decision to sanction.

25.           Questions of law are reviewed by the appellate court de novo.6

26.           The trial court abused its discretion in awarding sanctions against Rogers by

ignoring the plain language of Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code §10.004.

“A trial court's award of sanctions is reviewed under an abuse of discretion

standard. To determine if there is an abuse of discretion, we must look to see if the

court acted without reference to any guiding rules and principles." In the Interest of

T.K.W., 2010 Tex. App. LEXIS 1040, *11, 2010 WL 546584 (Tex. App. San

or an erroneous assessment of the evidence.” Randolph v. Jackson Walker, L.L.P.,

27.   Sub issue 1-A: 10.004(b) requires least severe sanctions. “The sanction

must be limited to what is sufficient to deter repetition.” Neither the lower court

nor the panel issued an order to perform or refrain from performing any act, the

most limited sanction authorized under §10.004(c). Neither the trial court nor the

panel made a finding that the sanctions were limited to what is sufficient to deter

repetition. There was no trial court testimony or other evidence about what was

necessary to deter repetition. The court asked multiple questions about sanctions

and the Low factors while Rogers and opposing counsel were under oath but not

regarding what was necessary to deter repetition.

28.   The panel rejected the argument about the lack of evidence, stating that the

argument was waived for lack of citation to evidence in the record. But the point is

that there is no evidence in the record. No one testified about the minimum level

of sanction required, and no evidence on the question was presented by any party.

The trial court did not address the issue in its opinion, other than acknowledging

the existence of the standard in paragraph 150 and then not addressing it.

29.   Sub-issue 1-B: 10.004 (c)(3) limits “an order to pay to the other party” to

amounts actually “incurred” “because of the filing of the pleading or motion.”

Casar’s public filings show amount actually “incurred” was only $31,144.44. The

sanctions order requires the payment of more than $31,144.44. The maximum

award, assuming all attorney’s fees and all costs “actually incurred” were solely

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 9
because of the filing of the “sanctionable” portions of the pleading, therefore, is

$31,144.44. Any amount over the amounts actually incurred is a penalty, which

must be paid to the court. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE 10.004(c)(2).

30.   On page 48 of its opinion, the panel cites “TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE

§10.004(c)(3) (authorizing as sanction order requiring sanctioned party to pay

reasonable expenses incurred as result of filing of pleading, including reasonable

attorney's fees).” The panel goes on to assert that Casar’s attorney presented

evidence of total attorney’s fees Casar had incurred. Subsequently, Casar has

created and filed with the City of Austin sworn campaign finance filings in which

he states that he has no incurred but not paid debt related to his campaign or office

holding, and that he has paid only $23,350.00 in legal fees, and only $7,794.44 in

legal costs.

31.   This is unsurprising. In his August 12, 2015 order, Judge Mills specifically

found that “Casar has not paid any of the legal fees.” Supp. CR IV, Vol. 1, p. 5.

Casar’s sworn filings contradicting his attorney were not, of course, in evidence at

the time of trial, as they had not yet been created. But this is not a one-time error.

Casar swore seven times over a period of eighteen months that he had no

outstanding incurred but not paid debt.           As Casar has, by his own sworn

statements, not “incurred” any debt, under CPRC 10.004(c)(3), the order to pay

him must be limited to, at most, the expenses actually “incurred.”

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 10
32.   The trial judge when he was under the mistaken impression that over

$200,000 was actually incurred, when he awarded less than $100,000 in sanctions.

Under the facts sworn to seven times by Casar, no more than a maximum of

$15,000 should be awarded against the two defendants combined, and no more

than $8,000 of that against Rogers.

33.   Sub-issue 1-C: 10.0004 (3) limits sanction to amounts “actually incurred”

“because of the filing of the pleading or motion.” This is a but/for causation

standard. The sanctions must be limited to the amount that was incurred “because

of” the “sanctionable” portions of the pleading.

34.   The but/for causation standard was explicitly recognized by the Advisory

Committee that drafted the 1993 amendment to federal Rule 11, upon which the

Texas CPRC 10 amendments are based:

      Since the purpose of Rule 11 sanctions is to deter rather than to
      compensate, the rule provides that, if a monetary sanction is imposed,
      it should ordinarily be paid into court as a penalty. However, under
      unusual circumstances, particularly for [subdivision] (b)(1) violations,
      deterrence may be ineffective unless the sanction not only requires the
      person violating the rule to make a monetary payment, but also directs
      that some or all of this payment be made to those injured by the
      violation. Accordingly, the rule authorizes the court, if requested in a
      motion and if so warranted, to award attorney's fees to another party.
      Any such award to another party, however, should not exceed the
      expenses and attorneys’ fees for the services directly and unavoidably
      caused by the violation of the certification requirement. If, for
      example, a wholly unsupportable count were included in a multi-count
      complaint or counterclaim for the purpose of needlessly increasing the
      cost of litigation to an impecunious adversary, any award of expenses

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 11
      should be limited to those directly caused by inclusion of the
      improper count, and not those resulting from the filing of the
      complaint or answer itself. ...

Notes of Advisory Committee on Rules—1993 Amendment
https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_11 (Emphasis added.)

35.   As both the trial and appellate courts admit that the CVR argument – the

bulk and heart of the litigation – was not the basis of sanctions, much of the “costs”

“actually incurred” was not due to the sanctionable conduct. Those costs, largely

the cost of depositions of Dr. Pressley and the County Clerk, would have been

incurred without the additional of the “sanctionable” portions of pleadings.

Despite that, the trial court awarded 100% of “costs” to Casar, after conceding that

less than 100% of “costs” were due to sanctionable conduct.          Therefore, the trial

court has confessed that the “costs” award is in error. This error alone requires

reversal.

36.   Issue 2. The trial court and panel erred in holding that the right to seek

sanctions was not foreclosed and barred by the Rule 11 agreement that all issues

between the parties were resolved at the time the agreement was made in open

court. The panel omitted from consideration the relevant portion of Rule 11 that

allows such agreements to be made in open court without attorney signatures.

      Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11. Agreement to be in writing.
      Unless otherwise provided in these rules, no agreement between
      attorneys or parties touching any suit pending will be enforced unless
      it be in writing, signed and filed with the papers as part of the record,

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 12
      or unless it be made in open court and entered of record.

37.   The agreement Rogers seeks to enforce was made in open court and entered

of record. The panel asserts, on page 34 of its opinion, that “To be enforceable

under Rule 11, agreements between attorneys and parties must be signed.” That is

plainly not what the Rule requires.

38.   The colloquy between the Court and the Attorneys at the May 26, 2015

hearing makes it abundantly clear that all parties are agreeing at that time to a

“Mother Hubbard” clause that closes all issues in the lawsuit effective on that day.

RR (May26,2015) Vol.4 p.120 line 18 – p.121 line 9.

                    18.    MR. COHEN: Just a minute. Judge, on the order,

42.      This agreement meets the Rule 11 plain language requirements, and the

explication made by this Court in Ebner v. First State Bank of Smithville, 27
S.W.3d 287, 296, (Tex. App.—Austin 2000) (internal citations omitted.)

         “To have a binding, open-court stipulation, the parties must dictate
         into the record all material terms of the agreement and their assent
         thereto.” The “made in open court” option in Rule 11 has been
         construed to provide an alternative way to establish an agreement of
         the parties when the preparation of a written agreement is not
         practical. (Rule 11 satisfied if “oral waiver or agreement made in open
         court is described in the judgment or an order of the court”).

   43.     Issue #3 The trial court and the panel erred in holding that a Cast Vote

 Record (“CVR”) is necessarily a ballot image. A ballot image is a CVR. A tally

sheet is a CVR. A database record is a CVR. But all CVRs are not ballot images.

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 14
44.              Travis County produces Database File Records, which are CVRs, but

which are not Ballot Images. See Testimony of Dana DeBeauvoir, Supp.

RR, Vol. 2, p. 211, line 9-24.

                             20. Q. I want to make sure I understand.
                             21.           So you're saying Hart has one machine that
                             22 creates ballot images but not cast vote records, and another
                             23 machine that creates cast vote records but not ballot images?
                             24 A. I think that's fair enough to say.

45.              The claims asserted by Rogers during the course of this election contest

preclude the imposition of sanctions pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies

Code Chapter 10. Most particularly, the trial court, while unpersuaded by the

argument that a CVR which does not contain a cast Ballot Image does not comply

with the statute, did not find the assertion sanctionable. This sound argument is the

heart of the case.

46.           It is uncontested that the relevant Texas statutes were enacted in 19977 and

2003.8 Those statutes require “ballot image storage” and “images of ballots cast.”

47.             Casar attempts to create ambiguity in the reading of the statutes by asserting

that various administrative agencies, years after enactment of the statutes, have

redefined the words of the statutes. However, the purported reinterpretations are

inconsistent with plain language and incongruent with the meaning of the statutes

as understood at the time of their enactment.

48.   Administrative redefinition of statutes is not allowed. In R.R. Comm'n of Tex.

v. Tex. Citizens for a Safe Future & Clean Water, 336 S.W.3d 619, 625 (Tex. 2011), the

Texas Supreme Court reaffirmed its 20 year old rule that deference due to

administrative determinations is limited to those that are “‘reasonable and do[] not

contradict the plain language of the statute.’”.

49.   The Safe Future Court added that “this deference is tempered by several

considerations:”

      It is true that courts give some deference to an agency regulation
      containing a reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute. But there
      are several qualifiers in that statement. First, it applies to formal opinions
      adopted after formal proceedings, not isolated comments during a
      hearing or opinions [in a court brief]. Second, the language at issue must
      be ambiguous; an agency's opinion cannot change plain language.
      Third, the agency's construction must be reasonable; alternative
      unreasonable constructions do not make a policy ambiguous.

Id. (internal citations omitted.) (emphasis added.)

50.   Casar has put forward no evidence of any “formal opinions adopted after

formal proceedings,” and has explicitly attempted to rely on a 2008 “isolated

comments during a hearing or opinions [in a court brief].” These comments are due

no deference.

51.     The plain language of the statutes require an “image” of a “ballot.” A “Cast

Vote Record,” as a mere database record is neither “image” nor “ballot.”

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc    p. 16
52.      In Texas Dep’t of Protective and Regulatory Services v. Mega Child Care,

145 S.W.3d 170, 177 (Tex. 2004), the Texas Supreme Court, in overruling a 25-

year-long pattern of erroneous interpretation of administrative law by this court,

made it clear that Texas embraces an unusually strong version of the plain meaning

rule.

        If the statutory text is unambiguous, a court must adopt the
        interpretation supported by the statute's plain language unless that
        interpretation would lead to absurd results.

See also AIC Mgmt. v. Crews, 246 S.W.3d 640 (Tex. 2008) (Willet, J., concurring)
(internal citations omitted) (citing to Alex Sheshunoff Mgmt. Servs., L.P. v.
Johnson, 209 S.W.3d 644, 652 n.4 (Tex. 2006) and 542 U.S. 241, 267, 124 S. Ct.
2466, 159 L. Ed. 2d 355 (2004) (Scalia, J., concurring in the judgment).

53.     The language of Texas Election Code 128.001(a)(2) and 213.016 is

unambiguous, does not lead to absurd results, and does not work an absurdity or

manifest injustice. Therefore, the Court must enforce the plain language requiring

the storage and printing of images of ballots cast. Not database records. Not mere

electronic tally sheets.

54.     Casar argues that the plain meaning rule does not apply, because subsequent

statements by administrative agencies contradict the plain meaning, citing Texas

Government Code 311.011 (b): “Words and phrases that have acquired a technical or

particular meaning, whether by legislative definition or otherwise, shall be construed

accordingly.”

Rogers Appellant First Amended Brief on Motion to Reconsider and Reconsider En Banc   p. 17
55.           First, there is no unanimous or consistent re-definition of a “ballot image” as a

“Cast Vote Record” at the federal level, within the Texas Secretary of State’s Office,

or within the manuals of Hart InterCivic governing this very voting system. The Hart

manuals concede that a CVR is not a ballot image.                     Hart's own Ballot Now

Operations Manual documentation9 provided to Travis County states that the eScan

subsystem scans each paper ballot to create an exact “digital image of the ballot”

cast. The eScan creates and stores a ballot image (a bitmap, .bmp file), then reads

the data to create a Cast Vote Record. (Ballot Now manual, CR (Vol. 1) 1422-

1729, page 1445 and 1680-1681). Thus, the Travis County’s Hart manual refers to

the CVR (a data structure used to transfer data for tabulation in Tally) and the

ballot image (bitmap, .bmp file) as two different creations.

56.           Furthermore, each suggestion of such a re-definition put forth by Casar is dated

AFTER the statutes were enacted in 1997 and 2003,10 and so were not considered by

the legislature, and could not have been intended to have effect in defining statutes

written years earlier. TEX. CONST., ART. 1, SEC. 16. States: “No bill of attainder, ex

post facto law, retroactive law, or any law impairing the obligation of contracts,

shall be made.” Administrative redefinitions are not exempt from this rule.

57.           The Federal government also defines “Ballot image” without reference to

the notion of “Cast Vote Record.” In 1990, the Federal Election Commission’s

Performance and Testing Standard for Punchcard, Marksense, and Direct

Recording Electronic Voting Systems (DRE)11 reported:

              To attain a measure of integrity over the process, DRE systems must
              also maintain images of each ballot that is cast, such that records of
              individual ballots are maintained by a subsystem independent and
              distinct from the main vote detection, diagnostic, processing and
              reporting path.

58.           The FEC distinguishes what would later be known as “Cast Vote Records”

from ballot images, saying there should be two pathways for vote records in

DRE’s: a) images of ballots cast capability, and b) vote detection, processing and

reporting path for vote data. The CVR is a reporting path/subsystem for reporting

vote results to the Tally system and a ballot image is an image file that is

independent from a data reporting path.

61.           Casar suggests the SOS may casually redefine the words in statutes based on

TEX. ELEC. CODE §52.075, which allows the SOS to “prescribe the form and content

of a ballot for a… electronic voting system .. to conform to the formatting

requirements of the system.” This language does not allow the SoS to ignore the

requirement of Texas Election Code, Sec. 128.001(a)(2) for “a main computer to

coordinate ballot presentation, vote selection, ballot image storage, and result

tabulation.”

cast,” and “ballot images” be counted and used to verify voters’ intent. An actual

digital, electronic image file in the form of various types such as a bitmap, pdf,

jpg, png, etc. is a different type of file from a CVR database file.                  The

legislature’s specific language of “ballot image” requires a secondary method for

verifying ballot counts. The Travis County method, simply printing out the same

CVR data to a predefined CVR template, and counting those CVR’s which is

what was already electronically counted, is not the independent verification path

mandated by the Legislature in order to preserve the integrity of the vote.

 6 EXPLANATION OF CORRECTION
       We have just received a notice of expenditure that was mailed to the campaign PO Box but not received prior to filing the
       original report. This report includes that notice. In addition. after reviewing the instructio ns for form ATX.5 we believe the intent is for
       lobbyists to be listed even if they were not the bundler or did not make a donation on this report. We have updated form ATX.5
       and it is included in this amended report.                                          ·
