Leave it to Sam Adams to exploit a flaw in publicly-funded elections --he can pretend to agree to contribution limits and collect the taxpayers' 6-to-1 match, and ALSO get limitless big money contributions from "independent" organizations that he really really truly isn't coordinating with, no sir-ee.

Guy is one cynical motherfucker.

So they're going to investigate it until the election is over and the possible consequences are a fine, not, maybe, disqualifying the candidate. Is the $3,000 per incident for every mailer that went out? And what if the election is over, the PAC has no money - nobody faces any consequences except the public.
