(INDIANAPOLIS) - Glenda Ritz’s campaign for governor is facing another formal complaint - this one filed Wednesday with the Indiana Election Commission.
The complaint was emailed in around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday by Boone County man Wayne Cornwell, who asks in it for the commission to investigate Ritz's campaign fundraising.
The big question: Did the campaign take donations while the legislature was in session?
Ritz blamed the problem on what she called a clerical error. She said she did not fundraise during the legislative session.
After Call 6 Investigates' initial report, the campaign did re-submit its fundraising report, refunded $900 and said it was looking for a new treasurer.
This newest official complaint allows the state to take a deeper look at the campaign's report.
The commission put a letter in the mail Wednesday asking the Ritz campaign to respond.
