Block Gives Our Money to Hillary

It's official, Jerome Block, Jr. is the poster child for all of us against taxpayer financing of campaigns:

In his latest campaign-finance report, Jerome Block Jr. gave $700 to Hillary Clinton, well after the former first lady had given up her run for president.

The contribution, made with public campaign funds, is dated Aug. 25, a week after Gov. Bill Richardson hosted fundraisers in New Mexico to help Clinton get rid of her multimillion-dollar campaign debt.

A section of the Voter Action Act, which funds Public Regulation Commission campaigns, says, "All money distributed to a certified candidate shall be used for that candidate's campaign-related purposes in the election cycle in which the money was distributed."

Mind you, this is the guy who has:

1. already admitted to campaign fraud.
2. a troubled legal history.
3. made a potentially illegal payment to an Attorney General employee.
   

Where's the outrage from all of those pushing ethics reform session after session? As if to add insult to injury, on top of everything else listed above, Block is dining at Twin Peaks on our dime.
