Joe for Joe

Inside Politics has an article on a website that highlights the connection between Assemblymember Joe Canciamilla and tobacco.

This is the website: Joe for Joe.

While the article focuses on it being anonymous, *oooh, crazy* what seems more crazy to me (and no one seems to be disputing this, so I'm taking it as accurate) is this:

"Canciamilla has said he willingly took the money [tobacco company contributions] because Assembly leaders asked him to do it. He was in a safe seat, so he handed over the money to party leaders and other Democratic candidates who could then claim no connection to the dollars."

Either that's messed up or it's illegal.
