FBI raises questions about state senator's ward election

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:

Democratic committee members in Center City's 8th Ward are being asked to sign declarations that they were "not offered anything of pecuniary value" to select state Sen. Larry Farnese as their leader.

The reason: FBI agents are asking questions.

The apparent cause of the investigation? Farnese spent $6,000 from his campaign account five months before the 2011 ward election to pay for a committeewoman's daughter's college semester abroad.

Three people connected to the ward election confirmed for The Inquirer that they were questioned by FBI agents.

The great moments of Blue America.
