These Kanjorski stimulus deals smell to high heaven and should be investigated at once.

The recipient of a $400 million loan guarantee from the US Dept of Energy in 2010-----Russell Kanjorski-----made headlines, along with his siblings, in 2002 when a company they owned received as much as $9 million in federal grants that their uncle US Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke helped obtain using controversial "earmarks." That company, Plains Township-based Cornerstone Technologies, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2006.

REFERENCE----NRCC REPORT In 2002, US Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke paid a family business and several family members over $9.5 million tax dollars. One business was K&K Real Estate, a business he co-owns with his brother.

From 1999 to 2002, Kanjorski used controversial Congressional "earmarks" totalling nearly $9.4 million given to Cornerstone Technologies Inc., owned by Kanjorski’s nephews, and its sister company Pennsylvania Micronics.

In 2008 after more than a year in the hands of a court-appointed trustee, the bankruptcy of Cornerstone Technologies was nearing an end. Funded with $9.2 million in federal defense earmarks secured by the congressman, the company halted operations in 2003. Company officials filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Sept. 26, 2006 with Cornerstone reporting $14,100 in assets compared with $1.34 million in debt, according to bankruptcy court records.

==============================================

QUESTION Can the Kanjorskis produce documents that show where they spent millions of tax dollars? Did they file all the proper IRS documents? (Stolen money is taxable.)

RESPONSE Oh, never mind the FBI, SEC, IRS, DOJ can find out (/snix).

POSSIBLE CHARGES Official acts prohibited, misuse of govt funds, abuse of public office; misuse of government position; abuse of government power; conflict of interest; influence buying; conspiracy to deceive; misuse of office, collusion, conspiracy to collude; govt fraud.

Possible federal offenses could include, but not be limited to:

Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud,

18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government,

18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the 1974 ERISA

Possible ERISA offenses including civiland/or criminal RICO violations,

18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act),

18 U.S.C. §241 (Conspiracy Against Civil Rights).

(1) All of the financial documents used by these entities need to be scrutinized.

(2) Banks holding monies for the Kanjorski entities need to be examined by an outside auditor to determine if the bank was used for fraud.

(3) FEC documents need to be exposed to determine whether campaign contributions were exchanged for tax dollars.

(4) Filing false documents and falsified information incurs felony charges for 1st-degree tampering with public records, 1st-degree offering of a false instrument for filing, 4th-degree grand larceny, and 1st-degree falsifying of official records.

For 21 months my house is still underwater - not able to get a re-fi.

If God forbid I lost my job, with 14% unemployment in my state I would have to pick up and start over someplace else that has unemployment at only 10%

A new beautiful outdoor shopping center near my home that opened just as the crash was happening is still sitting with a 70% store vacancy rate.

Oh yea, I say the stimulus worked real well.

Trucking is waaayy down right now and EVERYTHING moves by trucks.

When trucking future orders pick up...and right now fall/Christmas deliveries are looking Helen Thomas ugly...I’ll start believing the economy is growing.

I’ve been in trucking for 19 years and it has NEVER been worse.
