Officials with the gubernatorial campaign of Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak announced today that the Campaign Finance and Disclosure Board will not investigate a complaint by the Republican Party of Minnesota.

last week accusing Rybak of spending $13,000 for a DFL voter file before he announced he was running for governor. Rybak's campaign manager, Tina Smith, sent out a news release and a letter from the board that said  that "the factual allegations of the complaint are insufficient to state a violation. The Board will not commence an investigation of this complaint."

"This is a common sense result, and we are pleased we won't have to waste the time of the Campaign Finance and Disclosure Board, or our campaign, with this baseless complaint," Smith wrote.
