If you need to borrow money, you’d probably go to a bank.
But for the wife of one elected official, getting a loan was as easy as tapping into her husband’s campaign fund.
Millions of dollars are collected and spent on political campaigns every year, for TV commercials, yard signs, offices and staff.
But look what FOX 32 found while combing through a disclosure statement filed two weeks ago by the Neighbors in Action Party of Stone Park: A $6,350 dollar loan made last May to Gabriella Mazzulla, who happens to be the wife of Ben Mazzulla, who’s the mayor of Stone Park, who is also one of the candidates supported by the political fund.
“I was shocked because quite frankly this is unprecedented, very unusual type of spending,” said Sarah Brune of the political watchdog group Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.
