The three-term senator on Friday apologized for the mistakes that she blamed on “sloppy bookkeeping" and said that on Sept. 1 she put new procedures in place.
“I take full responsibility,” Landrieu said. “They should have never happened, and I apologize for this. A new system has been established that has been successfully used by a number of Senate offices to provide a safeguard from this happening in the future.”
The 11-page report shows 104 flights. It also states the campaign spent $202,330 for separate flights for campaign travel over the period in question, that the $33,727 repaid is the correct prorated amount and that lawyers will now determine the percentages that Landrieu’s campaign and Senate office should pay.

“Even more problematic is the fact that she did not release any flight records from 1997-2002.”
Where did she go?

Prison time. She only repaid it because she was caught!

A new system has been established that has been successfully used by a number of Senate offices to provide a safeguard from this happening in the future.” Which begs the question: Why wasn't it being used before?

A more economical safeguard system would be for her to resign and get lost.

You are lucky I’m not in charge of doling out the penalty.

(If you get caught) Every elected official should be made an example of because they wield so
much power. They should know better and Prison is the solution. Double prison terms.

If Cassidy had done this, I think he would vbe forced to leave the race. But not Proud Mary. LA people still have faith in her, but no one will say why.
