Cayetano, Friends Defend Record As Guv

By /
Ben Cayetano and four Campaign Spending Commission folks today defended his record as governor and decried anti-Cayetano ads by the Pacific Resource Partnership, a pro-rail union group.

The group has criticized Cayetano for not paying back $500,000 in illegal contributions he received in his 1998 re-election campaign. Read more about that here: Pro-Rail Union Group Ups Ante Against Cayetano and Civil Beat Guide to Polling During Election Season

Cayetano and his defenders spoke at a press conference at Cayetano’s Ward call center for about an hour. Full story coming later today.
