The Slog and Josh spacifically have done a good job covering this latest scam of Mr. Rossi's. What most folks do not grasp is just how out of bounds Dino's game is.

Postman likens the foundation to a presidential exploritory committee but does not make clear that raising undesclosed funds often in excess of the legal limits from individual contributers is illegal. In our state, an exploritory committee for the office of governor constitutes a campaign if funds are raised and is subject to our PDC reporting requirments and contributer limits.

When other countries do this, we call them "bribes".

Rossi would by far be the main beneficiary of any rule change that levels the playing field, that's for sure. The time he's spending now on the track preparing next year's new Yamaha is going to make him all the more of a threat.
