McCain Mixed Reform Talk With Lobbyist Fundraising
From the campaign trail in Washington, Senator John McCain touted reform while hosting fundraisers that drew corporate lobbyists for his presidential bid. Tickets ranged from 500 to 1,000 dollars, with as much as 500000 expected, and about 200 attendees plus 500 others paying 100 dollars to chat online. McCain says contributions align with his reforms, though critics note the clash between fundraising and oversight, as many donors sit on committees he leads. The events underscore the iron triangle of lobbyists, money, and legislation that McCain seeks to break.
