Lamont campaign files formal FEC complaint regarding Lieberman's alleged 'slush fund'
RAW STORY
Monday October 23, 2006
The Ned Lamont campaign filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission over Connectictut Senator Joe Lieberman's alleged "slush fund," according to a press release obtained by RAW STORY.
"After President Richard Nixon abused campaign finance law through his Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP), laws were passed to force candidates to disclose how they spend campaign funds," the press release states. "But over the weekend, it became clear Senator Joe Lieberman may be ignoring those laws, as the Senator’s FEC reports uncovered $387,000 'petty cash' slush fund that could be called the Committee to Reelect Lieberman (CREEL)."

I hope this doesn't cost Lamont points in the CT race.
