The state campaign finance board has dismissed complaints against Governor Pawlenty for consulting income he earned while running for governor. Pawlenty received 60-thousand dollars from political ally Elam Baer's pay phone company, Access Anywhere. The DFL and Green parties had filed complaints over the matter. They questioned whether Pawlenty's consulting company - BAMCO - was an attempt to circumvent political contribution limits, and whether the payments were corporation contributions, which are prohibited by law. Minnesota Public Radio's Laura McCallum joins me now from the Capitol. Laura, explain the campaign finance board's ruling. The board dismissed all of the complaints except one, which the board referred to the Dakota County attorney. The board said Pawlenty wasn't required to disclose his BAMCO earnings - candidates are required to report income from "associated business" which is defined as two or more people - and Pawlenty was the sole employee of BAMCO. Pawlenty also made no contributions to his own campaign - neither did Elam Baer. The board said it doesn't have the authority to investigate whether Pawlenty or Access Anywhere violated the ban on corporate contributions, which falls to the Dakota County attorney to investigate.
