N.C. GOP Must Repay $100G Illegal Donation

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --
The state Republican Party must repay a $100,000 illegal contribution
from a national group _ and the group must pay a $10,000 fine _ under
a consent agreement reached Wednesday with the state Elections Board.
The Republican State Leadership Committee _ a group formed to help
elect GOP state legislators, attorneys general and lieutenant
governors _ borrowed the money from Wachovia bank a day before setting
up in North Carolina in October.
The organization then donated the cash to the N.C. Senatorial Trust,
which works to elect Republican state senators; the trust passed it
along to the state Republican Party.
