Legal or not still bullshit.

As you can see in many cases the congress scummers will take advantage and ensure whomever likely gets top dollar for the least amount of work. Or they can make a deal and payout top dollar for BS and split it. Who knows.

Maxine Waters adds to daughter’s $1.2M in campaign payouts after latest $24K windfall

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) shelled out $24,000 in campaign funds to her daughter for work on the lawmaker’s re-election campaign in the first quarter of this year, according to records from the Federal Election Commission.

The records indicate that Karen Waters was paid by her mother’s campaign committee, “Citizens for Waters,” in installments of $5,000 and $3,000 for “slate mailer management” fees.

Karen Waters was paid a total of $8,000 on Jan. 5, Jan. 31 and March 21.

In all, the younger Waters has received more than $1.2 million since 2003 for campaign services, according to Fox News.

During fiscal year 2021, Waters’ campaign paid her daughter $81,650 in 12 installments for “slate mailer management” fees and “GOTV” — or “Get Out the Vote” services.

In the last election cycle, Maxine Waters paid Karen around $240,000 for work under the same labels.

It is legal for lawmakers to employ family members to work on campaigns. However, Federal Election Commission regulations prohibit paying candidate relatives a salary unless they are “providing bona fide services to the campaign” and the salary represents “fair market value of the services provided.”

Despite bipartisan practice, Waters has a history of shelling out more for her daughter than her colleagues have done for their relatives.
