...records show that Kennedy paid himself a salary of $4,100 in July and again in August from his campaign - just as Keyes, the conservative extremist, did infamously during a failed U.S. Senate campaign in Maryland in 1992.
Kennedy, a long-shot Democrat running against House Judiciary Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner, confirmed Friday that he made another $4,100 payment to himself from his campaign fund on Sept. 1 and will continue to do so each month through December.
Total projected campaign dollars he plans to pocket: $24,600.
I have three questions for which I'm sure Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner is rapidly checking for the answers:
- Does his campaign have an EIN?
- Is Kennedy filing quarterly if no taxes are being deducted?
- Is there any money going back from Bill Elliot (out of the $73,185 he was paid) to Kennedy?
Could be worse. Democratic Milwaukee Alderman Jeff Pawlinski was forced out of office after a federal investigation showed he was pocketing the money from his campaign via ATM withdrawals. At least Kennedy is keeping better records.
