Kay Hagan, defeated senator from North Carolina, may be gearing up to make a run at Senior Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) in 2016. She narrowly defeated Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), and in turn was herself narrowly defeated by Thom Tillis (R) in 2014 in what wiki called “one of the toughest re-election bids in the country.” (2)
The Hagan-Ruthven family combine of real estate development and solar energy projects in central Florida and NC, just keeps finding ways to feed at the public trough! After serving in the NC state senate, Hagan launched herself into the national political arena where she promptly voted for solar energy projects. Ironic that this “apparent” conflict of interest along with her vote to help pass the 2009 Stimulus Bill—also known as American Reinvestment and Recovery Act—were never covered in any significant way by the mainstream media.
“Public records show JCD (Hagan’s husband’s business) paid Solardyne as a company and Tilden Hagan (son) and William Stewart (partner) as individuals for work on [a] project” of solar installation work, says Don Carrington, executive editor of the CAROLINA JOURNAL. (2) “CJ could not find any record of an ‘open bid process’ for the solar installation work,” done at JDC Manufacturing, a company co-owned by Hagan’s husband Charles “Chip” Hagan and [his] brothers John and David.

It’s possible that Hagan’s ability to keep the family funded by taxpayer largesse was due, at least in part, to her U.S. Senate votes with the Democrat majority. Son Tilden Hagan co-owned Solardyne/Green State Power company, and that firm could have been looking to put those green dollars to work on a lot of rooftops. All of the Hagan males applied for and received $250,644 in federal stimulus bucks because they just had to replace...

Of course she did, in the best democrat party tradition. Enrich themselves and their family and friends at the expense of the now overworked and overtaxed citizens they purport to represent.
Thieving criminals.
Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall was at least able to distinguish between honest and dishonest graft. Their modern day equivalents are not.
Par for the course. No one cares because nothing can be done about it. The oligarchy cannot be defeated.

BAD NEWS FOR DEMS: KAY HAGAN WON’T RUN FOR SENATE IN 2016 ^

That is the way Chicago once worked. Sure, knowing someone or going golfing with the right people might get you a contract, but if you didn’t provide value, didn’t do a good job, or overpriced the work - at the very least, you would not get another contract. When the place actually worked, everyone knew this, and as long as the streets were swept, roads were good, services were prompt and fair, taxes were reasonable, it was OK.
just ANOTHER scumbag crook politician
Notice she named her son Tilden after Samuel Tilden a Democrat who was caught trying to buy Electoral College votes in 1876. One of her heroes I guess.
This is the new face of business in America. It is called crony capitalism. The well connected and their families will prosper. Business opportunities for the hard working unconnected will diminish. Look for the same from the republican elite.
It is corruption, pure and simple. More debt upon our children and grandchildren for uneconomic utopian technologies.
