Ehrlich Urged To Return Wal-Mart Donation May 4, 2005 3:03 pm US/Eastern
(AP) The activist group Wal-Mart Watch says Governor Robert Ehrlich should return a political donation from Wal-Mart and the proceeds of a fund-raiser the company held for him in December.
Ehrlich is pledging to veto legislation that would effectively force Wal-Mart to boost spending on employee health benefits or make a contribution to the state's insurance program for the poor. The group says he should return the donations to reduce the appearance of being bought by the company.
Ehrlich's most recent campaign report lists the four-thousand dollar contribution from Wal-Mart January 12th, the first day of the legislative session and the state's legal deadline for fund-raising.
