Hoff reveals milk money ties to 1970 campaign
Former Gov Philip Hoff said a 1970 campaign staffer, Kenneth Olson, was paid 5000 dollars by Ted Van Dyk Associates for reporting on New England events. Hoff linked the reports to Associated Milk Producers Inc, a Texas firm convicted of illegal contributions in past elections, but declined to label the payments illegal. Hoff, now Democratic State Chairman, said Olson had no reason to suspect illegality and had no requests about milk price matters.
