"It's obviously legal but it does raise ethical questions when you take campaign contributions from donors and you give them to your own wife, a family member, for work that may or may not be getting done," said Andy Shaw with the Better Government Association
It looks like Hammond's Mayor shares the same ethics playbook as JJJ. If you check his campaign finances, doesn't Tom pay his wife a monthly stipend regardless of campaign activity too? What else do they share? A reputation for a "wandering eye"? Fathers who had the same failings? Are they both under Federal investigation? Do they both need treatment for bi-polar disorder? Both machine politicians? I say they'd make wonderful bunk mates.
