He proposes to get $1,000 contributions from 100 different individuals and businesses in the state. However, Laxalt did say he would accept lesser amounts. NON-PARTISAN lie said the money would be solicited on a "completely non-partison basis," and the contributions would be limited to $1,000 "no matter how big the business or casino."
