There could be a really amazing explanation for why two-term Secretary of State Dianna Duran, the top official in the state for policing campaign contributions, was apparently depositing campaign gifts into her personal bank account, moving large amounts of cash between her campaign and personal accounts, and withdrawing hundreds of thousands of dollars at eight casinos across the state. Could be. And unless Duran offers it up — and quickly — she needs to resign. Duran has said through her attorney that “we ask the publi...
