SLT candidate’s paperwork on desk at City Hall

It was disclosed late Nov. 4 that Jason Collin’s political financial documents have been sitting in the South Lake Tahoe city clerk’s office.

“Apparently a Form 460 was dropped off at the finance counter in an envelope marked Susan Alessi and was left on her desk. She has been out of the office and I don’t open what looks like personal mail left on her desk,” Assistant City Clerk Ellen Palazzo told Lake Tahoe News.

She has since opened the envelope. These are the forms it contained: Collin 497 and Collin 460.

Collin is running for South Lake Tahoe City Council. To have not filed the documents would have been a violation of state law.

The Fair Political Practices Commission had been told Collin had not filed his paperwork. Collin said he did. That led to Palazzo looking on her boss’ desk.
