Baltimore Councilwoman Helen L. Holton will go on trial Dec. 7 on charges that she violated campaign finance laws. "Ms. Holton would like to have this case finished," her lawyer Joshua R. Treem said Wednesday after a brief hearing at which the trial date was set. Holton was indicted in late July in connection with a political poll for which Baltimore developers Ronald H. Lipscomb and John Paterakis paid $12,500. State law limits campaign donations to $4,000 from individual contributors per four-year election cycle.

Since she mailed Lipscomb the bill for the poll, it's obvious she wasn't trying to hide anything. It's a campaign violation but why is taxpayer money going to prosecute this when there are other, bigger travesties of justice that need to be taken care of?
