Ben Carson's finance chairman resigned early Thursday hours after the release of a critical news story that questioned his lofty salary and other spending as rising costs cut into the former pediatric neurosurgeon's Republican presidential campaign's bottom line.
A statement from the campaign announced the departure of Dean Parker, who panned the report.
"It has been a great honor to serve alongside Dr. Carson as he seeks the office of President of the United States," Parker said.
"While current allegations towards me are misrepresentations, my primary goal is to help Dr. Carson save our nation. I am excited about the growing momentum behind him and look forward to even greater days ahead."
Thursday morning's story in Politico noted that Parker made $20,000 a month in his role and said that the finance team's lofty spending has drawn significant questions from top Carson aides. Experts questioned why the finance chairman drew any salary at all, as his main job is raising funds.

Much too bad, too, because I believe Gentle Ben had a LOT to bring to the American Dialogue, as a representation of the true worth of what it meant to be a person of African heritage growing up in the United States, and to accept and make the American ideals his own.
If nothing else, this should have put to rest the notion that only the Democrats “have an understanding” of the great underclass created by LBJ’s Great Society programs of the 1960’s pandering to the lowest common denominator among Americans of African descent. It should, but of course, the very people most affected will see it as all perverse and backwards.

Sounds like the guy was embezzling. I feel sorry for Doc Carson at this point. Good guy but his neophyte campaign is embarrassing.
