Not intentionally?

Rep. Mary McAllister says she didn't do anything intentionally wrong.

In testimony before the State Board of Elections this morning, the Fayetteville Democrat acknowledged that there were errors in her reports, but repeated that she has not done anything "intentionally or knowingly" improper with her campaign finances, Andy Curliss reports.

McAllister also said that she made no loans to her campaign, even though her campaign finance reports indicate it paid her almost $14,000 for loan repayments.

Under questioning by members of the elections board, McAllister was unable to explain $5,000 that she took out of her campaign account without reporting it. Elections officials said the money was taken out of the account on Nov. 23, 2004 and, that on Dec. 6, 2004, McAllister deposited $4,000 in checks and $5,000 in cash into a personal money market account.

McAllister testified that she could not recall where the money came from.

Elections officials also said McAllister had received an unspecified amount in political donations that were deposited in her personal banking account.
