Court tosses $2 million award for Democrat Bell
A state appeals court has thrown out a $2 million award for former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Bell, ruling that a national Republican organization did not violate state law with $1 million in donations to Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign in 2006.
Bell’s lawyer promised Friday to challenge the ruling, saying it will gut state election laws by allowing political donors to give large contributions without disclosing their names or the size of their donations.
