So far, VALaborMoney has focused on direct contributions from Big Labor to candidates.
Today's report of 20 field staffers being funded by AFL-CIO reminded us of another category--Independent Expenditures or IE.
Of course, AFL-CIO's payment of salary for 20 field staffers today isn't the first IE in the race. Check out the list at VPAP.
We'll be keeping you posted about future IEs on the Twitter Feed.
So far, AFL-CIO has reported 3 prior IEs and the Intl Brotherhood of Painters & Allied Trades reported a $50,500 IE for transportation to mobilize union members.
