I for one would be insulted if anyone tried to offer me a po- 706 S. 7th East litical contribution at a time when a measure in which the donor was interested was scheduled to come before me for a vote. No conscientious public officeholder wants a contribution with strings attached. We all like to think and I hope correctly in my case that a contribution from a constituent is voluntarily given because the constituent believes in confidence that you will work hard and honestly to promote that theory.
