Republican Source: Federal Complaint Against Page Could Be Filed Friday
An Oct. 4th campaign contribution listed on the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor's ethics report says it's from a company in Canada.
But Sam Page's campaign is calling that a clerical error.
That's because accepting contributions from foreign countries or non-citizens is a violation of federal law.
At issue: a $10,000 campaign contribution to Page from Waverly Glen, with an address listed of Vaughan, ON Canada. It was filed on Page's 24-hour campaign report in early October.
Page's campaign said that address was processed incorrectly. Late Thursday, a person close to the campaign said the donation came from a subsidiary based in St. Louis. The campaign said it was planning to file an amended report Friday.
But a Republican source said that a federal complaint with the Justice Department and Federal Election Commission as early as Friday morning.
Page is locked in an increasingly testy race for Lieutenant Governor with Republican Peter Kinder.
