[edit] Political charity may cross line
"Through an unusual financial arrangement, three Atlanta City Council members have showered thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes, parties and food on their constituents with donations from dozens of local businesses, city records show.
The council members solicited the donations from the companies, some of which have had business before the council. And the contributions have come in the form of checks written to, and held by, the city in special “trust fund” accounts. Expense records and interviews with the council members suggest that they spend the money as they see fit with little oversight from the city."
