Ethics Complaints against Jack Conway, Dem running against Rand Paul - georgia_tech_swagger - 05-23-2010 01:31 AM
Quote:Mongiardo has already alleged that Conway has "violated the public trust" by accepting more than $70,000 in campaign contributions from utility companies, their executives and lobbyists while approving rate hikes.
...
Mongiardo's complaint also says Conway approved a $22 million rate increase for Louisville Gas & Electric then accepted thousands of dollars in contributions from the company's executives and its registered lobbyists.
Quote:Jack Conway's campaign for U.S. Senate received over $50,000 in contributions from the nursing home industry. Those are only the 2009 numbers. We have no way of knowing what the 2010 numbers are, probably tens of thousands more. The majority of those contributions were made by Kindred Healthcare executives.
...
Not only has Jack Conway accepted tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Kindred Healthcare executives he also appeared to provide a service for those contributions. In 2009 Attorney General Jack Conway sent U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius a letter asking for the suspension of the nursing home rating system or the star system.
Ruh Roh!

I think it's safe to say this will get very little, if any, coverage in the mainstream media. If it does it will be under the headline
"Racist Rand Paul attempts to smear opponent"

Well, it may be time for a Special Prosecutor. Because its kinda hard for the State Attorney General to investigate himself for political corruption.
That may make some news.
