Jesse Jackson Jr.'s staff sends handful of campaign-related emails from congressional addresses

WBEZ reports:

There's a blurring of ethics guidelines at the office of a member of Congress from Illinois. Staff to U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., sent election-related messages from their government email accounts, in apparent violation of U.S. House rules.

The Chicago Democrat is already under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, in part for allegations he used taxpayer-funded resources in his bid to win a Senate appointment in 2008.

That practice appears to have continued in the past few months, as Jackson prepared for a primary election challenge from former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson.
