Elections Board Comments On Fraudulent Campaign Fund Activity

(Providence, RI)--The state elections board says it may have had something to do with theft of campaign money from the accounts of two candidates.Multiple media reports have indicated that 15-thousand dollars was taken from both the accounts of Cranston Mayor Allan Fung, who ran for governor last year, and Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, who successfully ran for re-election.The board said yesterday that routing and account numbers of checks written by campaigns involved in the state's Matching Public Funds program were incorrectly disclosed.Officials apologized for the mistake.
