Mica has five relatives who work as lobbyists, two brothers, a son and a nephew.

Free education anyone? They hand out money and free education while they cut grants for everyone else. Talk about taking care of your own: [link to www.chicagotribune.com] Even further proof [link to www.chicagotalks.org] Now, it appears they have finally ended the practice just recently, but only after costing universities $13 million a year. The program started in 1960 and they say now that "deserving" kids should get them. Oh yeah, the state universities have to eat the waivers, so no more living/educating on taxpayers dime - regardless of who you know. The only reason they are getting rid of it is times are tough. I am sure some day it will be back. These well to do/well off politicos who know better, but rip us off anyway. [link to www.thetelegraph.com] [link to www.sj-r.com] Local, county, state, federal. All corrupt. They take and take from everyone, then cry wolf, only to take more. Can kickers, professional procrastinators, or outright liars. These "highly educated" lawmakers are so smart, they are stupid. Or do they just want us to think they are? Being smart and successful has less to do today with what you know.

They can work anywhere they want. Just because the son of a house member works at an organization doesn’t mean that the organization should be banned from getting government aid. If you drag out the family tree long enough, you could connect every organization to someone. Reminds you of the “five degrees of kevin bacon” game. If the house member’s son worked at the place long before his father became a representative, and continued to work there long after, then I don’t see the problem. As long as the person doesn’t work as a managerial position in the company where he can directly interact with the lobbying and money given to the company, then there isn’t anything likely to talk about. About the only case you could make is if you could prove that the person’s employment is a result of the grant. Or if the person in question has a shadow position at the company. AKA… They don’t really do anything, they just draw a paycheck. If the son works as the head of the company, the company still should be able to have access to grants if there is a good reason, but there should be a lot more scrutiny. The review of the request should go through an independent 3’rd party to see if there is good reason to give that company the money they are wanting. |

So you don't mind your money being used to pay for other peoples employment etc? How bout this one from the same article. From what I can see this is a lot of money that our taxes just paid for to keep all their relatives employed etc. I think we can do better than this. "In the case of Lewis, $500,000 was earmarked in 2008 for Barracks Row in Washington, DC. CREW stated that Lewis’ wife, Arlene Willis (who was paid $512,293 to work in her husband’s office between 2007 and 2010) “is a likely beneficiary of his earmark, since the improvements to Barracks Row will probably cause her $943,000 property four blocks away to rise in value.” |
