The Hill is reporting on the latest saga on the Kaptur's involvement with the PMA scandal investigation. Kaptur wants to clarify that she never was approached by the full ethics panel, but has been interviewed by the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE). Reps. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) both spoke to the Hill about this.
===
But both said late last week that the full House panel has neither interviewed them nor asked either for any information about their interactions with or political contributions from the former lobbying group....
The article also says:
===
Kaptur also said the OCE interviewed her and requested documents from her office, which she readily provided.

Marcy Kaptur sponsored or co-sponsored 61 earmarks totalling $72,230,017 in fiscal year 2009 ranking 44th out of 435 representatives. $37,680,000 to Defense.
Happy Veterans Day!

Odd that. She doesn't seem to have any of the Defense PAC's donating to her
Campaign - this year.
I see though she has Agriculture based campaign contributions and several 'earmarks' for that sector.
I guess we should be grateful though for the
handouthandful of 'earmarks' for Toledo $18,800,000 to help us out of "our" economic slump."Our" because I've noticed the Congresswoman doesn't use a Pay Toilet without reimbursing herself from her
WarChestCampaign Fund.---------------------
Truthfully I don't know how any of this earmarking works or understand exactly what she is being investigated for but, her role in this and in some other thing(s) I am famiLiar with
reeks.
Are you guys ready to support publicly-financed campaigns, or are you only against contributions to Ms Kaptur?

I haven't decided on that question yet. What's Obama's stance?

Latta takes money from the oil industry, and then lies about cap & trade on their behalf. Is he ethical?
