The NY Sun has a story about an upcoming trial in re: campaign shenanigans for the Junior Senator from New York's last campaign. They are (IMNHO) a reputable paper and to date, I've not seen them blow a story. I believe the contents of the article but not so the impact. I think the people involved will take yet another bullet for the Clinton's as we've seen time and again. If anything she gets a small fine and issues a "had no knowledge" statement that will pass quietly away.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
