Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 20, 1998
whoever uses the money has to be given the money in the form of a check, so that if you are going to haul voters, for example, a check would be written to you. You could then not give voters or anybody else cash. Obviously if you wanted to fill up your van with gas, you could turn that in as an expense and the campaign can reimburse you. This is just to make sure that you cannot have what goes on, like $300 cash to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Meehan), and then the gentleman gives out $50, $25, $10, $5, and it does not have to be recorded. The end receiver of the money is not on record.
