"Everything we did was legal, and none of it was unethical."
—Bishop Ronnie Crudup of New Horizon Church International, in a Clarion-Ledger interview on his involvement with a super PAC he helped create.
Why it stinks: The jury is still out on whether All Citizens for Mississippi, which Crudup helped start, is in compliance with all relevant federal election and campaign laws. As of press time, the super PAC hasn't filed spending activity reports as required by the Federal Election Commission, and which is vital to transparent elections. In addition, the relationship between Crudup, his tax-exempt church and the political activities of his PAC remain murky.
