Bean Bends Under Greenberg Attack

Yesterday, McHenry County Blog published a press release from 8th congressional district Republican challenger Steve Greenberg to Democrat incumbent Melissa Bean.

Greenberg pointed out that it was illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to congressional (or, for that matter, presidential—remember the Chinese donations to President Bill Clinton in 1996?) campaigns. Greenberg even sent a copy of the $1,000 invitation, which was published here yesterday.

Today, Greenberg issued a press release reporting that Bean had realized the error of her ways.

She is no long holding her $1,000 fund raiser from at the home of Chicago's Serbia's Chicago Consul General Desko Nikitović.

She's moved it.

Here is the headline of the new press release:

Bean Acknowledges

Ethical Mis-step;

Moves Questionable
Serbian Fundraiser

Ethical questions raised by independent
reformer Steve Greenberg forced venue change

Since I get complaints when I post press releases, you can read the rest here at McHenry County Blog.
