The latest FEC filings show Rep. Don Young (R-AK) and convicted Alaska businessman Bill Allen playing hot potato with a $37,000 check Young sent to Allen after the public corruption scandal up there broke.

It was an effort by Young to "reimburse" Allen for fund-raising expenses incurred on behalf of Young's re-election campaign, expenses being scrutinized by the feds.

Allen didn't want the money any more than Young did and refused to cash the check. The money ultimately wound up in the U.S. Treasury.
