Kemper Gives Money Back

Republican candidate for state auditor, John Kemper, has nobly given back all campaign donations from government officials to avoid a conflict of interest if he were to be elected this November.  He is also urging his opponent Adam Edelen to do the same.  Wow, right?!  A politician actually giving back money to donors?

Well, there's a bit of a catch.  This vast sum of money that Kemper is giving back totals $1,200 while Edelen's campaign donations from government officials is $75,000.  That's 62.5 times the amount than "untouchable" Kemper.  I think I'd want Edelen to give his money back too.


Oops, sorry.  wrong John Kemper...
