The recent indictment of four Arizona political figures has forced an unwelcome decision on the numerous elected officials they’ve lavished with campaign contributions over the years: what to do with the cash?
So far their responses vary.
Gov. Doug Ducey plans to keep nearly $14,000 in donations from those charged in the federal indictment alleging bribery intended to influence the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Even as the governor sees no reason to distance himself from the situation, other elected officials told The Arizona Republic they plan to unload the money to avoid any “taint” from the felony case.
