Why is Ron Kind Holding on to Tainted Campaign Contributions?
It's no secret that I disapprove of the way that Ron Kind represents us in Washington. I have outlined many ways in which his voting record is more in line with New York liberals than with his own neighbors here in Western Wisconsin. Now, I have an idea of why that is... Campaign contributions.
It turns out that Kind is taking donations from his liberal allies in Washington. Most notably: Charlie Rangel has donated $2000 to Kind's re-election.
Given the ethical troubles that Charlie Rangel finds himself in these days will Ron Kind do the honorable thing and send that money back? Afterall, Rangel's donation was probably paid for with tainted money from his unethical activities.
Why hasn't Ron sent that money back already?
