The issue will rest on what is "administrative" activity and what is a direct contribution to a campaign.

Looks like that link is missing a digit. Here's another try.

Pretty amazing that the fundraising letters basically said "your corporate donation to us won't be stuck paying overhead like with other PACs."
Is this big news in TX these days, or just more of the usual background noise of partisan sniping? This seems big, but then again I thought that using fed resources to track down the runaway legislators was a big deal and that went nowhere.
