I became a candidate for public office and maintained my business responsibility, which was inconsistent with my principles, George said, explaining why he planned to give up his salary and bonus.

Flop on Disclosure Act
Dan Froomkin: \"When Democrats push to limit campaign spending, the Republican line is that full and immediate disclosure of political donations and spending is a better way to avoid corruption.

Exempt groups disclose their donors and expenditures. . .
Today, with the Supreme Court essentially banning restrictions on political spending, Republicans have fully agreed --
Face this problem.
Suddenly, they strongly opposed disclosure. . .
