In a related story, today's Globe reports that the Brown campaign paid Brown's daughter Ayla nearly $10,000 to perform at three campaign events.

Nonetheless, it's a bit eyebrow-raising that (a) she doesn't choose to sing at her dad's events for free (and I'm sorry, but campaign manager Jim Barnett's lame explanation that it's not about Ayla but rather about her bandmates is, well, lame), and (b) Brown's campaign donors are now expected to subsidize Ayla's music career. - promoted by david
