Draude said the right decision was made, even though using caucus funds to pay Lingenfelter wouldn’t have crossed any rules. “I’m really pleased that Dwain Lingenfelter has decided that he shouldn’t take the money, the way that he had suggested that (Hermanson) shouldn’t take it in 1998,” Draude said.
“It’s too bad that we always have to bring it up to his attention before he finally does the right thing.”

We need to head him off at the by-election.

“There was no error.

“What Chomiak fails, as usual, to tell, is that one of those “liars” was someone he worked with on a daily basis.
