Bakalis admits honest error in campaign fund conflict
Democratic candidate for governor Michael J. Bakalis says he may have made an honest error in reporting to the Illinois Board of Elections about funds from his self built lobbying group. He confirms a $20,000 transfer to his 1975 76 comptroller bid was repaid within about 50 days and that the money went into his general fund but was not used.
