Evan, it was in the NJ’s expose’ of the legislators travel story. I’m hearing rumors that they was never a policy for this.

“But applying for a legally available loan, from a fund designed exactly for that purpose, is not “stealing.” That is CDS.”

Maybe not. But if Carney had contact with officials on the matter, isn’t he an unregistered lobbyist then?

Democrats are anti-education now? I’ll pay for the entire House membership to go back to college if they promise to enroll in economics, finance, history and ethics courses.

RSC…would you mind sourcing that? I’ve actually looked around and not seen anything but the Lofink theft…I’d be interested in hearing more.

David, let me bring you up to speed. I’m not talking about Lofinks son stealing a million bucks 3 years ago. I’m talking about Lofink the Rep. that had his college paid for by the House of Representatives! This is far worse than Carney because it benefitted Lofink personally. Please read the news sometime, and stay current before commenting.

noman –
A man less than a year out of being LT. GOVERNOR…who is already signed up to run for Congress…a company less than a year old with no real accomplishments or promises…and we’re not supposed to be outraged that they’re asking for nearly half a million dollars in TAXPAYER money?

Like there is no way that he could get that deal sweetened?

I didn’t say his loan should have been approved. Frankly I haven’t been following the story that closely. But applying for a legally available loan, from a fund designed exactly for that purpose, is not “stealing.” That is CDS.

Actually if they failed to apply for the loan because of the COO’s political plans, the company investors might have a legitimate gripe.

Tell me you wouldn’t say the same thing if this was a Republican former Lt. Governor who helped the previous administration bankrupt the state government…was now running for Congress and was seeking nearly half a million dollars from the state…..

The fact is the only difference between me and you is I can admit it when BOTH sides are sleasy on the edge of criminal.
