| Description | TALLAHASSEE - The case against state Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla has gone on so long, even the judge is unhappy.
The case has already sparked a new law that makes lobbyists ineligible to serve on the Florida Elections Commission. It could even jeopardize the agency, which is charged with upholding campaign finance laws. A new study may result in lawmakers' abolishing or limiting the commission.
The case began after Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, won a special election in 2000 and was subsequently accused of violating campaign finance laws by accepting $10,000 in cash and failing to report $144,000 in other contributions and $68,000 in expenditures. |
