If you announced an independent financial audit on every state legislative member, and you were going to publish the audit once it wrapped up....they’d all resign. I don’t you can find a single Republican or Democrat....who would be ready to survive a real audit.
That’s really the problem that every state has, and why the whole system is so corrupted. Who pays for their weekend holiday in Aruba? Who pays for the set of golf clubs they got back in November? Who pays for the case of wine they got? Who pays for the leased car they drive while at the state house? It all adds up.
You’d be surprised how well they can hide it. The community organizers don’t even try. It’s too much trouble.
“Black democrat Tyrone Brooks in GA is under investigation, too.”
Yes, but isn’t Brooks facing a Federal beef, not just some state ethics panel? Kinda makes you wonder if the fed DOJ isn’t completely corrupt yet.
The Charleston Democrat... faced allegations that he spent campaign funds on personal expenses, including purchases at adult stores... Filing for Ford’s old Senate 42 seat could open on June 21 and close July 1... primaries would be held on Aug. 13, and the special election itself would be held Oct. 1. The black-majority seat contains portions of downtown Charleston, West Ashley and North Charleston.
Thanks for posting this. His resigning immediately tends to suggest there is some merit to the charges. If he was innocent, I think he would stay and clear his name.
