After SPIN! Video - "Should campaign money be used to buy a home?"

Published November 11, 2019

After SPIN! "Question to Rufus Edmisten and Donna Martinez – Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger’s political campaign is buying him a home in Raleigh. The State Board of Elections told him that’s allowed under our campaign finance laws but Bob Hall, longtime government watchdog has filed a formal complaint, saying this is illegal because he used campaign funds to buy an appreciating asset. Hall says this kind of trickery and manipulation of the law for personal gain must be stopped, adding it makes a legislators campaign into a personal piggy bank. What’s your reaction to this story?"
