Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - A House Privileges and Elections sub-committee Wednesday morning rejected a bill that would have banned using campaign contributions for personal use. The bill had unanimously passed the State Senate.

The same sub-committee had previously killed a Republican version of the same bill from a delegate.
