Just Good Old Fashioned Fundraising
Indiana Democrats say they are not breaking the law with a March 6 fundraiser with House Speaker Pat Bauer as the guest speaker. A state law bans lawmakers from fundraising during long sessions. Spokeswoman Jennifer Wagner says individual lawmakers can’t raise money, but political parties can and elected officials can headline those fundraisers. However Republicans are saying Democrats are getting pretty close to the line. One Republican insider put it this way, “although it’s probably not adultery for me to look at naked pictures of Hallie Berry, my wife probably wouldn’t appreciate it.”
