CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason has accepted nearly $30,000 in campaign contributions over seven years from public officials and businessmen charged or implicated in two federal corruption investigations.

The amount is roughly 13 percent of what Mason, a prolific fundraiser who has cast himself as a crusader for campaign-finance reform, recently reported in his political fund.
