Gurney faces charges over 1973 fundraiser filing failure
Senator Ed Gurney is charged with criminal violation of campaign contribution laws for failing to file as a candidate after a May 23 1973 fundraiser. Friends of Gurney raised 21000 in tickets, and though a filing was later made seven months late, staff say the act was technical and not willful. The case ties to Watergate era scrutiny and two federal grand juries examine contractor gifts.
