Louisville Mayor Asked To Return Donation

{Louisville, Kentucky}...Louisville businessmen Ed Hart and Bruce Lunsford have asked the city Mayor Greg Fischer to return $10,000 that was donated for his inaugural gala. Hart and Lunsford say contributions from them and five others weren't used for the gala. Instead, the men say Fischer's election campaign used the money to repay personal loans he made to the campaign. Fischer said both men contributed to his campaign account and should have known that the campaign could use the money for other reasons, but he will "seriously" consider the request. Hart and Lunsford say, if the money is returned, it will be donated to charity.
