Board To Discuss Lobbyist Contributions To Walker Campaign

Via The Times-Union:

“Wisconsin election and ethics officials are looking to clarify whether lobbyists can funnel money to Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential campaign and when contributions could begin.

The Government Accountability Board, the agency that oversees Wisconsin election and ethics laws, has been receiving inquiries from lobbyists about whether they can contribute to Walker’s campaign and, if so, when the donations can begin, GAB Director Kevin Kennedy wrote in a memo to board members.

The GAB is scheduled to consider the questions at a meeting Tuesday in Madison. Kennedy wrote in his memo that board staffers have no specific recommendations but need a quick decision as the 2016 campaign season intensifies. Contributions from lobbyists would open up another potentially lucrative funding source for Walker’s campaign as he works to stand out in a crowded Republican field of contenders.”
