Politicians - U.S. Rep John Murtha
We live in a great country.
And I guess it's especially great if you have Mr. Murtha working the money for you...
And I guess it's especially great if you have Mr. Murtha working the money for you...
At Harpers.org, Ken Silverstein and Sebastian Jones describe him and more:
"Murtha basically runs a racket. He helps win taxpayer money for companies that support his campaigns and hire lobbyists he approves of–often his former staffers and in at least one case blood kin. Companies that set up shop in his district do better yet, even if they only set up a smaller satellite office, thereby allowing Murtha to pose as a champion of his constituents as opposed to his political cronies. 'There’s been no report of Mr. Murtha’s profiting personally,' the New York Times has written. 'But the Murtha operation–which has become a model for other entrepreneurial lawmakers–is a gross example of quid pro quo Washington.'
Murtha’s porkbarreling has been covered extensively here in the past. Consider now another instance of the Murtha rules: the case of Argon ST and its subsidiary, Coherent Systems International."
