Chicken Lady Sue Lowden Breaking Campaign law?
Danny Tarkanian: Sue Lowden breaking campaign law by accepting donated RV.


Sue Lowden, a leading contender to be the Republican nominee in the race to unseat Sen. Harry Reid, is being accused by a chief competitor of breaking campaign finance law for accepting a luxury campaign bus as a campaign contribution.

A campaign contributor is "leasing" Lowden the luxury RV she is using as her campaign bus, according to the Lowden campaign. But her name is on the title with the supporter, Carl Giudici, which would indicate they co-own the bus.

Campaign finance rules allow in-kind contributions of $2,400 -- the same as the cash limit. The contribution of a luxury bus, which commonly costs more than $100,000, would be a violation of the law.

Danny Tarkanian, who is a close competitor of Lowden's in the Republican primary June 8, has called into question whether Lowden is breaking the law.

2. She can not be breaking the law
Laws are for other people, not her.

3. Could she barter for the fine?
Maybe she can claim she paid for the RV, with Chicken feed?
