Rep. Neugebauer's Campaign Yacht Funding Beats Dumping


While financially stressed boat owners abandoned their boats in record numbers, Representative Randy Neugebauer worked to finance his yacht in innovative ways. Randy applied to the Federal Elections Commission for permission to use campaign funds to rent his family's "recreational boat." The FEC issued a favorable draft opinion.
