Description
1 This appeal involves the construction of the provisions of the new Oklahoma Ethics Commission Act, 74 O.S.Supp. 1986 ?? 4200-4248.1 (Act). The factual history involved here began with a complaint filed by the General Counsel for the Republican Party, Craig Dodd (Dodd), against David Walters (Walters or appellee), Democratic gubernatorial candidate in the 1986 election, with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission (Commission or appellant) on September 12, 1986, pursuant to the Act. Dodd alleged certain private loans from four individuals in the amount of $162,500 obtained by Walters by giving mortgages on his house were illegal under the Act. Section 4216 of the Act limits a persons or familys contribution to a candidate for state office to $5,000. Section 4202(6) defines "contribution" as "any money, property . . . or any other thing of value whatsoever which is given or loaned to be used in a campaign. . . ." (emphasis added). Each of the individuals who had loaned money to Walters had already donated the maximum amount.
