What's that about Ethics in the Senate?

Well, well, well. It seems that in the last two election cycles, new Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey and his RAAMPAC may have used another PAC to launder campaign contributions, according to this AP story at WMC-TV. Timeline is HERE, more details at the TENNESSEAN.

According to the story, his PAC maxed out contributions to three Gooper Senate candidates, then gave money to another Pac known as SALT PAC, who then took the amount given and distributed to the same three candidates, Bill Ketron, Mae Beavers and Don McLeary.

Per the story and timeline, this was also done in 2004 with the same two PACs for Senate candidates Diane Black, Jim Tracy, and Jerry Sharp.

Gee, who's going to handle the investigation on this?

Lt. Governor Ramsey, let me put it to you this way:

DON'T START NONE, WON'T BE NONE.
