DOVER, Del. — A forensic review commissioned by the state Department of Elections has uncovered significant improprieties in the campaign finance s of Delaware ’s lieutenant governor, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.
“Why he publicly reported these five expenditures as made to a payee other than the true payee remains unexplained,” Lampinski wrote in a report obtained Thursday by The Associated Press in response to a FOIA request. “When I pointed out she had written ‘create’ receipts, and not ‘gather’ or ‘collect’ receipts, Long said he couldn’t ‘answer for her terminology,’” Lampinski wrote.
Hall-Long has been under intense scrutiny since September, when she abruptly announced the postponement of a campaign event with Democratic Gov. John Carney that was to be held the next day, saying she needed to “attend to a personal, private matter.” It’s unclear when Hall-Long was made aware of Lampinski’s investigation, but Elections Commissioner Anthony Albence notified her in a July 15 email that the report had been completed.
“I understand counsel for Mr Long will be reaching out to you separately,” Hall-Long wrote. “The report and the interview notes from Dana’s interview contains errors and omits material representations made by Dana and the attorneys present during the interview.”
