From News-Leader:
It says Gibbons reported raised $432,430 in the past month, leaving him with $832,277 in cash on hand in his battle with Democrat Chris Koster.
But because of a new law allowing Missouri politicians to take monetary or in-kind contributions of any amount, Gibbons has received $1,412,500 in contributions in the last 15 days alone.
On Aug. 28, a new law signed by Gov. Matt Blunt and pushed by Gibbons and the Republican-controlled Legislature lifted the previous cap of $1,350 per donation for candidates seeking a statewide office. Caps for House and Senate candidate also were lifted.
