I'd Hate to See This Investigation
...De-layed. I'm sure it's all an honest mistake...or a witch hunt.
A fundraising effort by Democratic legislators intended to help elect party members to the state House and Senate produced more than $1 million in questionable campaign donations during the past two years, state records showed.The Miami Herald reported Saturday that two political committees organized to raise money to help elect and retain Democratic legislators accepted donations in excess of the $500 cap on individual contributions for political campaigns set by state law.
Between July 2004 and last December, Florida House Victory accepted 214 contributions over the limit, raising $830,803 in excess of the $500 cap before the committee finally closed down, records showed. About $759,000 of the money raised went to the Florida Democratic Party, records showed.
Florida Senate Victory took in 54 contributions over the limit, or $211,246, before it was dissolved and re-created as a "committee of continuous existence," records showed.
Does that last sentence remind you of anyone...
...as in "Nuthin' up ma sleeve!"
