’)Next to Tom Tancredo or Roy Moore, Frist is my pick for the GOP’s standard bearer in 2008 simply becuase he gives us a lot of material to work with.
The Federal Election Commission has determined that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s 2000 Senate campaign violated federal campaign finance laws.
The federal agency fined Frist 2000, Inc., $11,000, according to a lawyer representing Frist’s campaign and a watchdog group. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington had filed a complaint last year against Frist’s 2000 campaign committee and received the FEC’s findings Thursday.
The FEC found that Frist 2000, Inc., failed to disclose a $1.44 million loan taken out jointly by the campaign and Frist’s 1994 campaign committee.
Kudos to CREW, who did the legwork on this one.
