This paragraph caught my eye in an article about Sen. Leland Yees arrest. As columnist Michael Kinsley often observed, the scandal is whats legal: But Yees advocacy for open government, which undergirded his campaign this year for secretary of state, did not always extend to so-called sponsored bills, pieces of legislation that are written by special interests and carried by legislators. A Bay Area News Group analysis in 2010 found that Yee had passed more sponsored bills from 2007 to 2008 than any other senator, taking $22,100 in campaign contributions from private bill sponsors during that time. contracostatimes/news/ci_25424830/leland-yees-arrest-could-end-steady-sometimes-paradoxical?source=rss
