DFL Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, it appears, will not be investigated by the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board.
Ritchie had used his official government website to solicit campaign contributions, and sent them to a few Republicans by mistake(?)
That is a no- no, banned by state and federal law.
It was reported in rather terse form that "none of the allegations would violate state campaign laws, so the board doesn't have jurisdiction to investigate." End of story.
Funny.
Something tells me that if a Republican held the office and did the same thing, the coverage and the public outcry (by the media) would have been different.
Why, I'd bet that if Ritchie was from the GOP, and his part-time secretary's roommate's boyfriend's best buddy got a DUI, it would be THOROUGHLY investigated in the mass media.
Can you spell B- I- A- S ?
