full text: Sharpton Campaign Gets Funds, Probe

WASHINGTON - The government delivered good news and bad news to Al Sharptonn Thursday: The Democrat will get $100,000 in public money for his presidential bid — and will face an investigation into his campaign's finances.
The Federal Election Commission is examining whether the New Yorker spent too much of his own money on his campaign. Presidential candidates who accept public financing agree to spend no more than $50,000 of their own resources.
