Farouk Shami Gave $4,800 to Bill White
It appears that Farouk Shami, the wealthy hair-care executive running as a Democrat for governor, may have funded his own competition.
Shami is among at least 240 people who've given U.S. Senate candidate Bill White $4,800 -- the maximum allowed under federal rules for a combined primary and general election.
Now, of course, White is considering whether to get into the governor's race. If so, he can spend the $4 million senate warchest, which includes Shami's cash, in that effort.

Nice catch, Matt.
If Bill White were a man of principle, he would return Shami's contribution, as it was made under false pretense after Bill White lied about not running for Governor.
