Plenty of politicians, some of whom slam Tom DeLay for doing so, pay family members to work on their campaigns. One in Vermont isn’t happy to find he has been identified as one of those. All information came from FEC data readily accessible to the public–those who are interested.
I like the last line of the article:
Not everyone has the time or resources to follow the government’s doings, but newspapers and other media do, and that’s the next best thing.
Certainly what blogs try to do.
I am not so sure about most newspapers anymore!
