Luke Fundraising For More House Dissidents

By /
A member of the state House dissidents — the guys that have fought, unsuccessfully, to install a new speaker — called Capitol Watch to say that we left out the names of four other dissidents for whom lead dissident Sylvia Luke is organizing a fundraiser.

A quick check of the Campaign Spending Commission confirms that Mark Takai, Roy Takumi, Jessica Wooley and Luke herself will indeed be at the same fundraiser as 10 other dissidents — Brasserie Du VIn for a suggested $50 a head.

The event is set for Jan. 12, six days before the 2012 session begins (dissidents frown upon fundraising during session). Dissidents (former?) not included in the fundraiser are Denny Coffman and Cindy Evans.
