Richardson Won't Be Charged In Pay-To-Play Probe
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former aides will not face charges after a yearlong federal probe into a pay-to-play scheme tied to a 2004 state bond deal. U.S. Attorney Greg Fouratt said the investigation shows improper pressure in procurement but stops short of exoneration. The decision did not involve Attorney General Eric Holder.

FEC finds problems with SarahPAC contributions
The Federal Elections Commission reports SarahPAC overpaid and then refunded $200 each to Senators John McCain and Lisa Murkowski after misclassifying $5,000 contributions. Tim Crawford says software caused the issues and the banked funds were redesignated for the 2010 primary and general elections. The FEC asks for travel invoices and more disclosure details with a Sept. 24 deadline.
