Iowa Republicans say a campaign account connected to IA Gov. Tom Vilsack's '04 re-election bid ran afoul of state campaign finance laws by giving $50,000 to Vilsack's political action committee last year.

In a complaint filed today with the state's ethics and campaign disclosure board, Iowa Republican Party director Cullen Sheehan contends that state law forbids campaigns from transferring money to any account that benefits an office-holder personally.
