Courtney Curtis, a former Missouri lawmaker who's now running for mayor of Ferguson, has been fined for ethics violations.
Curtis was ordered to pay $77,500 after a state ethics commission found he used campaign money on spas, concerts and other personal expenses. However, the fine will be waived if Curtis pays $7,750 and complies with state law for two years.
