Blunt silent on removal of campaign contribution caps

Missouri lame duck Gov. Matt Blunt was silent on Thursday's repeal of changes to the state's campaign finance laws.

The changes effectively removed caps on contributions enabling donors to contribute unlimited amounts of money to candidates they support.

Blunt, who is not seeking re-election, was silent despite issuing a broad ranging press release mentioning other legislation that took effect last Thursday.

Republican Congressman Kenny Hulshof has already shown the new system to be a boon for his campaign's warchest, amassing $1.16 million in the first 48 hours of the new law taking effect.
