Bob Riley's PAC admits taking PAC-to-PAC donation in violation of law Riley pushed

By The Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Alabama — A political action committee formed by Gov. Bob Riley acknowledged Friday that it received a donation from another PAC in violation of the campaign finance law that Riley pushed through the Legislature and said it returned the money after discovering the error.
The contribution was first pointed out Friday by state Democratic Party Chairman Mark Kennedy, who accused Riley of not following a ban on PAC-to-PAC transfers that he got enacted in December before leaving office.
The treasurer of Riley's Alabama 2014 PAC, Jessica Taylor, said the PAC mistakenly received the money in March from the Republican State Leadership Committee. She said Riley's PAC returned the money June 24 after discovering the problem.
