RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley's campaign sought ways to get around donor limits by funneling money through the Democratic Party, documents indicate.
Internal documents from Easley's 2000 and 2004 campaigns for governor revealed discussions among officials of ways to obtain more money from donors than allowed by state law, which limits individual campaign contributions to $4,000 per election cycle, The Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer reported Wednesday.
