The
Secretary of State's office says a Mingo
County political action
committee's acceptance of improper contributions didn't violate any state law.
Team
Mingo 2012 received $3,700 in contributions from the campaigns of four
Democrats.
Secretary of State spokesman Jake Glance has said that campaigns of
active candidates can't make donations to unaffiliated PACs such as Team Mingo
2012.
An
attorney for the office, Tim Leach, says in a letter to Team Mingo 2012 that
state law doesn't prohibit PACS from receiving money that may have been
improperly donated. Leach says there are exceptions but none apply to Team
Mingo 2012.
