You don’t mean another corrupt representative of the Democratic [sic] party, do you? Those mean Republicans never share the glory! No fair!
ARKANSAS for those that not knowing the state.
How did Holder let this slip by? He’s got some splainin’ to do.
It is all Rush Limbaugh’s fault donchano.

Controversy
In the summer of 2010, Shoffner came under much controversy when she said she would refuse to keep a log of her mileage in her state owned vehicle, saying “If I wanted to keep a log, I’d drive a truck.” At the time there was much scrutiny over the personal use of state owned vehicles, Shoffner admitted to using her vehicle for personal use. During this time frame, Shoffner was also criticized for calling the Arkansas State Trooper assigned as protective detail of Governor Mike Beebe as a “manservant”.
After being re-elected, Treasurer Shoffner came under fire for letting go of long time state employee and Chief Deputy State Treasuer Karla Sheppard. Shoffner cited that she was attempting to take the office in a different direction.
In November of 2011 it was revealed by journalist Michael Wickline that Shoffner had used state funds to do fundraising out of state. It was revealed that Treasurer Shoffner stayed an extra night at the conclusion of a New York City National Association of State Treasurers Conference to raise money with a New York City Law Firm that does business with the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System, a board in which the Treasurer serves. It was revealed that the Treasurer had also received one check for $10,000, eight thousand over the legal limit in Arkansas. The Treasurer attempted to conceal this by listing multiple names on her required campaign finance reports.
This is a real surprise. I didn’t think any laws applied to the DemocRATS and were only out there to be used against Republicans, TEA Party members, Christians, taxpayers and conservatives. You know, Americans.
Nancy Pelosi wannabe
Used to be called just ‘doing business’, greasing palms, exchanging envelopes.. now.. for those who choose to ride the wild pony for free,, be aware, it kicks.
Several of the 22 transactions were made by one broker, Steele Stephens. Shoffner told the legislative panel in December that she and Stephens father, Steve Stephens of Newport, also her home town, have been friends for years. She previously told the committee that she did not know Steele Stephens was his son until after she and Steele Stephens met at the state Capitol to discuss state investment opportunities.
In response to questions during the committee meeting, Shoffner said she never received any personal financial benefits from Russellville-based St. Bernard or any of the other firms. She did say Steve Stephens has donated to her campaign and helped organize a campaign fundraising event on her behalf.
WHAT..IM SHOCKED..SHOCKED I TELL YA/sarc
A Democrat...committing fraud..you don’t say LOL
And she looks like your typical Communist thug too..perhaps a position in the IRS is in her future
She looks like some sort of zombie in that mug shot.
Whether or not she is eligible to run the IRS has yet to be
determined. However, it is clear that she is well qualified
to serve in the newly created capacity of Congressional
Democratic Liason to the Internal Revenue Service (CDLIRS)
She is known as a primadona. In fact, when she ran for reelection last time, her opponent aired “Queen Martha” commercials with a throne and everything. She had her own souvenir coins made with her face on one side and handed them out to visitors to her office.
Thanks DeaconBenjamin.

Hmmm...wondering if Bill paid Monica for "official acts"?
What is it about these Crats that have them involved in so much corruption? They are the cesspool of government.
