Politicians - John Murtha
Looks like more of the same...
I found this on the New York Post opinion page:
"Now, it seems that the Pennsylvania Association for Individuals With Disabilities (PAID) does good things. But several lobbyists and contractors who have received millions in government largesse from Murtha sit on its board of directors.
In turn, notes the newspaper, those same officials 'have kept Murtha's campaigns flush with cash.'
Indeed, PAID largely exists through Murtha's efforts. Fully 80 percent of its income comes from direct government funding arranged by Murtha (who has long been known as the House's King of Earmarks)."
