What should a candidate do when they need “office space”?, rely on a donor to provide “free space”?

“Anytime a candidate has a relationship with someone their campaign is paying, whether it be a personal, family, or donor relationship, those payments must be subject to greater scrutiny to ensure they are at fair market value for necessary campaign needs,” Arnold told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. “If the payments were either under or over fair market value, that is a violation of campaign finance law.”

So, is $2k/mo fair market value (which would make this a non-story (normal)) or it’s not and oh my goodness follow da money!

Please enjoy spinning gold from this chaff.
