Money In, Money Out

I find it somewhat intriguing that the first Peter Franchot fundraisier of 2006 for his candidacy for Comptroller is a $1,000 a plate dinner that takes money out of Maryland and to a Washington, DC hotel. The candidate who would be a steward of the money Maryland brings in will raise in own but taking his money outside of Maryland.

Not a massive faux pas, but not the way I would want to start my statewide run either.
