Quote of the Day

by: Jason Springer

Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 08:00:16 PM EST



Today's quote stems from everyone's favorite ex-State Senator Wayne Bryant, who's in need of some money to pay his defense attorneys.  He has asked ELEC for permission to use some of the near $650K in his campaign account to foot the bill which led to this response from Frederick M. Herrmann, the commission's executive director., ...
"This is the first formal request we've ever had to decide on the issue of whether or not you can use your campaign contributions for a criminal legal defense," Herrmann said. "The current regulations don't address that."
Let's all thank Senator Bryant for another Jersey first.  The commission will consider his request at a hearing next Tuesday.  I'm sure that's what all the people wanted when they gave him money, even though they may have known in the back of their mind that it might end this way. Take the poll below the fold and tell us whether you think he should be able to use the money for his defense.
