There is political controversy in the race for Tulare County Sheriff. It stems from a gun raffle fundraiser organized by Mike Boudreaux's campaign committee. His opponent, Dave Whaley says it's illegal. Under state law, Whaley says only charitable organizations can sell tickets for prizes. Boudreaux contends there's no purchase necessary and money collected for tickets is simply a donation. To make it clear, Boudreaux's committee recently added fine print to the raffle fliers. Whaley says it's not enough. He wants Boudreaux to shut down the raffle and refund ticket money.
