Casino67 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Daily Caller:New documents disclosed in a complaint from the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) appear to show California Democrat Rep. Laura Richardson and her staff clearly violating congressional ethics rules and potentially federal law.The documents show Richardson using official taxpayer resources for political events, including fundraisers. “Rep. Richardson didn’t just violate House rules, she likely committed crimes,” said Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director.In one instance, Richardson’s chief of staff, Shirley Cooks, told all of Richardson’s aides in an email from her official House account, “All staff are required to attend” a fundraiser held Sept. 29, 2010, adding, “Bring spouses and tell interns they have to be there as well. Thanks.”Another staffer, Daysha Austin, then a district scheduler, told staffers, “The Congresswoman is asking all staff that one has to wear their staff shirt to tomorrow’s event so we can be visible and easily identified.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 There are no ethics violations! This is just "Campaign Justice" or "Election Reparations". Nothing to see here folks keep moving. It's about time that Laura received payback for all those past injustices. wikipedia: Richardson was raised by a single mother after her parents divorced when she was two. Her father belonged to the Teamsters labor union. Her father was black and her mother was white. Richardson has said that racism against their mixed-race family was "what got me since the age of about six of wanting to be a public servant."[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
