Findings

Worth a look Gifts

Lists $877.93 in gifts from Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians in 2025; the limit from one source is $630

The statement lists 1 gift(s) from Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians dated in 2025, totalling $877.93. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503). The filer's comment on that page: “The amount of $247.93 was reimbursed to the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians for the portion of the gift on August 30th, 2025 that was over the gift limit.”.

What to check

Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.
