[AlphaNewsMN] Two Wisconsin Republicans introduced legislation in the U.S. House called the "OMAR Act," a bill that would prevent political candidates from using campaign cash "to enrich their spouses.""For too long, lawmakers of both political parties have engaged in the ethically dubious practice of pocketing campaign funds by ’hiring’ their spouses and laundering the money as campaign related expenses," said Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents Wisconsin’s Seventh Congressional District.
On Friday, he and Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin’s Eighth Congressional District introduced the Oversight for Members And Relatives Act, called the "OMAR Act" for short.
