How the parties funnel their political funds

California Watch, the independent investigative reporting group I've been telling you about for awhile now, has christened its spiffy new website with a report on how politicians of both parties and their supporters "routinely funnel money through county-level political party committees around the state, avoiding strict limits on campaign giving and hiding the source of millions in donations." The group makes its investigations available to newspapers around the state. Check out some of the innovative features on the site.
