Wednesday' Sun Herald article based on information from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington stated that incumbent congressman are enriching themselves by paying family members from their campaign payrolls.
As the Sun Herald reported, Rep. Gene Taylor has paid family members for campaign work, but here is why (though left unclarified in the report) it is not unethical and should perhaps be applauded.
His wife and daughter who have both recieved minimal payments are doing the tasks for LESS than could be expected if they had hired someone else to do it.
For a total of $44,794 his wife and daughter together ran his campaign and raised $428,332. I'd say that is quite a deal.
