It all begins in student council

Here’s an interesting tidbit in a Los Angeles Times profile of corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Apparently his fundraising irregularities started early, as far back as his 1972 campaign for student council president in a Beverly Hills middle school.
Heading into the election, Abramoff was disqualified by the principal, according to a fellow student, for holding a party that exceeded the campaign spending limit.
