IS MIKE HATCH'S OFFICIAL OFFICE A FRONT FOR HIS CAMPAIGN

Why is Mike Hatch's goverment paid press secretary also serving as his campaign spokewoman?

"But Tuesday Hatch's spokeswoman said the announcement piece is only partly true.

'He is making an announcement Oct. 24. That is correct,' spokeswoman Leslie Sandberg said. She would not say if those 'intentions for his political future' include a run for governor.'

She also said he plans to send a letter to about 5,000 supporters about those intentions next week." Source: Pioneer Press, October 12, 2005

Sandberg's salary is paid by the taxpayers and if she wants to work for the campaign, then she needs to quit.
