House 66: Howard Rich targets Gilda

What’s the best way to surprise your enemy while advancing for a lethal blow?

I have no idea. Go ask a ninja.

But if you’re one of millionaire Howard Rich’s voucher groups, and you want to take out Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter, you might try funding a candidate with out-of-state cash after the final campaign finance disclosure, so the public doesn’t know what you’re up to.

You might try that, but it probably won’t work.

According to disclosures filed Monday with the Ethics commission, Rep. Cobb-Hunter’s opponent got over half her campaign funds from Howard Rich and his associates.
