Anthony Weiner recently found out that he is being fined by the New York City Campaign Finance Board to the tune of $65,000 for multiple violations of campaign finance rules. It seems that the serial sexter used campaign funds to pay for his personal cell phone bill (one can only imagine the horror of donors when they find out that they were unintentionally funding Weiner’s sexting with an underage girl). It seems Weiner also misused campaign funds for many other disallowed expenditures such as hiring a campaign consultant to the tune of $46K. The list of the use of these diverted funds boggles the mind. It includes such gems as a $1, 500 dry cleaning bill and purchase of a $600 television that was never explained. He also paid one consulting group an amount of $26,000 in excess of their contract and failed to show how the payment was even connected to his campaign.
