"Local news reports from Ohio said a deputy chairman of the gala committee, Bill Gunlock, an Ohio businessman, pleaded no contest to money-laundering charges in 1993 involving $12,000 in campaign donations to the Republican Party of Franklin County, Ohio.
The reports said Mr. Gunlock, the former president of a real-estate appraisal company, was fined $30,000 for illegally funneling money to the party in support of a county auditor who had awarded millions of dollars in contracts to his company. Mr. Gunlock, who agreed to raise at least $100,000 for the presidential dinner on Tuesday, did not return phone calls today for comment." |
