Ficker flier ruled inadvertent campaign violation
The prosecutor found the distribution of a fliers letter by Montgomery County school leaders and unions technically violated FEPA without intent to deceive. Officials note no criminal charges, cite lack of authority line and filing, and pledge future compliance while continuing to take public positions.
