Jack had a good find today.

This story could have been this, or this

But this is what we have;

The March event sponsored by L-3 executives raised $12,750 for Sen. Baucus’ re-election effort. The funds came from 14 top employees of L-3, according to federal election records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Most contributions were for $1,000, including from Ralph D’Ambrosio, chief financial officer, Charles J. Schafer, president of the company’s products group, and Curtis Brunson, senior vice president.

According to the reports, L-3 is involved in some offshore tax haven deals, which is an issue pending before Senate Finance since at least last spring. Max’s vigilance on the issue apparently did not extend to checking into who was hosting his fundraiser on March 17.

While he had no problem taking money from these folks less than two months ago, apparently something caused a change of heart. What changed? My guess is that a reporter finally did some homework and gave him a call, who knows maybe the Montana press will learn a thing or two.

As long as the money didn’t come from Jack Abramhoff, he’s in the clear. Nothing to see here, move along.
