Lt. Governor Casey Cagle benefited from secret donations made by real estate agents during the last election cycle. During the last election, the Georgia Association of Realtors collected and spent over $200,000 for banker Cagle. Cagle's staff denies any coordination of message or discussions of the secret donations. The donations, if that is what they were, were spent on advertising by a group called Realtors for Cagle.
The group, Realtors for Cagle, never disclosed the expenditures or even the collections as required by law. The law provides nothing worth mentioning in the way of penalties for this election breaking activity.
Elections, as everyone knows, should be transparent and honest. In this case, the very honest and innocent Cagle should not be able to shelter and hide his financial relationships with special interest groups.
Special interest groups are forbidden from donating more than $10,000 directly to a candidate for state wide office.

More than $400,000 was raised and spent by realtors in the last election cycle.
None of the money was reported.
Who's been buying and selling your elections?
