HELENA, Mont. (AP) - Montana Republican Congressman Denny
Rehberg has long been a critic of U.S. Sen. Jon Tester's ranking as
the top recipient of campaign cash from lobbyists. But an
Associated Press analysis of campaign finance data shows Rehberg
has been taking some donations from lobbyists without disclosing
their place of employment. The Rehberg campaign says that the
missing information is simply a byproduct of incomplete records
submitted by the donors themselves, and not an orchestrated effort
by the campaign.
