Aiona: Gov. Lingle and her committee gave too much
A spokesman for Republican gubernatorial candidate James "Duke" Aiona says that Gov. Linda Lingle and her campaign committee contributed too much money to Aiona’s campaign.
Travis Taylor said in a statement Friday the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission informed Aiona’s campaign of a $6,000 "over-donation" by the Linda Lingle Campaign Committee.
He says the commission appears to view the committee’s contribution and a $6,000 personal donation from Lingle as one contribution.
The issue couldn’t be verified with the commission because Friday was a furlough day.
Taylor says the commission took no formal action against Aiona’s campaign.
He says the over-donation by law is forfeited to the state.
