| Description | She's being paid $10,000 for consulting by a candidate she endorsed, but former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek says she is insulted that anyone would imply her endorsement was for sale.
Her reaction came after county mayoral candidate Miguel Diaz de la Portilla this week criticized opponents who tout ''paid for'' endorsements from black leaders as part of their campaigns.
Meek has endorsed businessman Jose Cancela, a relative unknown in local politics, for county mayor. Cancela's latest campaign finance reports show he paid Meek $5,000 on Feb. 16, then again on March 10. She endorsed Cancela publicly weeks before and said she would be a paid consultant in the late stages of his campaign.
