When asked if he would return contributions from Tim Durham, Governor Mitch Daniels stated that the money "has been spent."
Hmm.
So when did the Governor unload the $160,000 that was still in his campaign committee account on June 30, 2009? And to whom did he give it, or on what did he spend it? He's not running for any office I'm aware of, or so he repeatedly tells us all.
If Daniels gave it to another Republican committee, say the Indiana State Republican Central Committee, does anybody think he couldn't get them to give it back? Last time I checked, he was the Governor and leader of his party.
What the Star was asking is whether a politician who gorges himself on ill-gotten gains should have to disgorge. And now we know where the Governor stands.

No, mitch meant that "we" spent the money durham donated, the rest of the money is from someone else. :)
How many of these movers and shakers, pillars of the community and standard bearers of hoosier values, shook it with the playmates at the parties atop Indianapolis? How funny did mitch look at eyelevel to the ladies navels?
Just another example of "we" not knowing anything about what "we" do, as in Brizzi and his board appointment that sounds like mitch and his unknowingly making board decisions to make himself millions while screwing the shareholders.
Should the Democrats give back all the donations from the ISTA?
ISTA gives to many republicans also. Although not many Marion County republicans.
Well Durham gave to Dems also, just not as many, which is how the ISTA works. I meant more in regards to house races. Their PAC have donated plenty, but in the wake of their scandal no one is asking to give the money back.
