RNC reorganizing procedures for approving expenses

Recognizing the damage they’ve suffered from the bondage-club story —- and the need to mollify fretful donors, activists and operatives — RNC officials are reorganizing the way the party approves expenditures and are bringing in former RNC Chief Counsel Tom Josefiak to head the process.

Josefiak will work to tighten RNC spending while scrutinizing committee spending practices more closely, according to New Jersey Republican Committeeman David Norcross, who spoke with Steele Thursday afternoon.

Norcross said that Josefiak’s mission is to crack down on the kind of accounting practices that allowed a nearly $2,000 expense at Voyeur to show up on the party’s fundraising disclosure form.
