Tapping a political ally, Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed Richard Miadich as chairman of the state Fair Political Practices Commission, which enforces campaign finance and lobbying laws in California.
after the initiative's passage, Miadich predicted the comprehensive regulatory scheme in Proposition 64 would help persuade the federal government not to interfere with California's new cannabis market.
On Tuesday, the late-afternoon appointment announcement drew a muted response from groups that advocate for enforcement of campaign laws, including California Common Cause, which said they want time to review the appointment before commenting. Miadich's clients included the Burbank Hospitality Assn. when it agreed to pay a $5,000 fine last year to the Fair Political Practices Commission for failing to properly file a major donor campaign report after it contributed $50,000 to a local initiative.
