The complaint was filed by Andree McLeod, who said her review of then- candidate Miller's FEC filings suggested Miller paid for only fuel for campaign flights on a private plane. McLeod alleged Miller violated regulations requiring he pay charter rate for a comparable plane when flying privately.

The settlement states Miller's campaign, treasurer Bernadette Koppy and pilot Thomas R. Wickwire acknowledged "some omissions" in campaign finance reports due to a misunderstanding of regulations by Wickwire. After getting clarification, Wickwire made in-kind contributions and was reimbursed $3,030 after flight hours were calculated and the in-kind contributions and prior fuel payments were deducted.

The settlement said amended reports had been filed.
