Maybe he didn't want to deal with the controversy over Gabby's Tuesday PAC- you know, the one G.LeDoux set up in what appeared to me to be a laundry for lobbyist dough for legislators to whom lobbyists are barred from giving if they don't live in the legislator's district.  And APOC didn't shoot it down tight away. 

Somehow she thought she could create a mechanism whereby lobbyists would give to her PAC, and she would then give the dough to legislators to whom the lobbyist couldn't give it to directly. 

Certainly this was intended to evade the spirit of the law if not the letter of the law itself.
