“The fact that they only gave money when he was doing these final rules,
that more than ever really raises flags. There’s something fishy going
on.”
Lots of candidates are e-mailing voters at their government jobs

Democrats complained when GOP gubernatorial candidate Josh Penry sent campaign information to state Capitol workers at their work e-mail addresses, but it turns out plenty of candidates are e-mailing voters at their government jobs.
Denver City Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz and Denver City Auditor Dennis Gallagher talked to the legal department after workers received e-mails from Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet.
"I don't think you can use the city's e-mail system for partisan, political donations," Gallagher said Wednesday. "It's clearly an inappropriate use of city resources. We have been cautioned in the past on this, and we are very careful not to let anything political dealing with campaigns go out through the city mail."
