California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has revived his idea to allow politiicans to raise funds before and after they pass a budget, but not during actual deliberations. He said in the Sacramento Bee: "I have tried for three years now to say let's not do fundraising during the time they negotiate the budget in California," Schwarzenegger said. "Because I know what goes on in our building. "Everyone is in there, everyone is trying to get influence. And then they do fundraisers at night. At 5 o'clock, they are in the Capitol, and two hours later, they're doing fundraisers. If you don't link those two together, it's a little bit obvious." The governor also said a budget fundraising ban would spur lawmakers to approve an on-time budget. "Nobody likes to go through July with no fundraising," he said. |

Congressman John Doolittle's campaign owes a debt of $137,000 to his wife's company, Sierra Dominion services. His campaign had agreed to pay her 15% of every contribution it raised, meaning that when donors contributed to his campaign part of that money went into his family's bank account. He has since announced he will end this practise, but the reality is that for the next several months most of the money his campaign raises will be going into his wife's pockets. See the story here in the Sacramento Bee. |

The Columbus Dispatch has found that ex-congressman Bob Ney's campaign paid his wife a salary even after he dropped out of the running on August 6, 2006 and after he plead guilty to influence peddling in October, 2006. One wonders what work she was doing for the campaign, which was defunct at the time, in order to justify her salary. |
