MediaNews Group Washington BureauWASHINGTON — Rep. Bernard Sanders used campaign donations to pay his wife and stepdaughter more than $150,000 for campaign-related work since 2000, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Jane O’Meara Sanders, his wife, received $91,020 between 2002 and 2004 for “consultation” and for negotiating the purchase of television and radio time-slots for Sanders’ advertisements, according to records and interviews.
Approximately $61,000 of that was “pass through” money that was used to pay media outlets for advertising time, Jane O’Meara Sanders said in an interview. The rest, about $30,000, she kept as payment for her services, she said.
Carina Driscoll, daughter to Jane O’Meara Sanders and stepdaughter to the lawmaker, earned $65,002 in “wages” between 2000 and 2004, campaign records show.
Wow….
Shame you have to get almost 4 paragraphs from the end to find out he’s a Democrat.
Yet every story about Tom Delay mentions immediately that he’s a Republican. They either call him “Republican Senator Tom Delay” or “Delay – R” or something similar.
I’ll show you the info on Harry Reid a bit later. You won’t believe the kind of stuff he’s done. I’ll bet you’ve never heard about it.
