| Description | Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante may have distanced himself legally from that controversial $3.8 million in Indian gaming money he took to run for governor - - but it turns out the greenbacks haven't gone too far.
Last Sunday, in an attempt to take the air out of the controversy -- and reverse his sinking poll numbers -- Bustamante announced he wouldn't spend the money on his campaign. Instead, he said, he'd shift "every dollar" of the gaming money (that came in over the $21,200 limit) to help defeat Prop. 54, an initiative on the same ballot that would bar the state from collecting racial data. |
