Perry campaign settles lawsuit charging he hid $1 million contribution

The Rick Perry campaign has paid $426,000 to his 2006 Democratic opponent to settle a lawsuit accusing the governor of trying to hide a $1 million contribution from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry (no relation). Democrat Chris Bell filed the lawsuit claiming the money was illegally funneled through the Republican Governors Association in the final days of the 2006 campaign. Voters didn't know the full extent of the funding arrangement until after the election. Slater reports:
