They were more than just betting, this thing is over the top. The cost overruns were outrages and many of the overruns were not backed up by invoices.So they were betting on if something passes or not? Did he come out ahead?
If he is that ignorant of a common sense issue such as this being a conflict of interest, he isn't either trust worthy or smart enough to represent the people of his district.looks like a conflict of interest to me
Don’t forget he gets to keep his seat and all the benefits that go with itSo he pays a $3000 dollar fine…..? After taking in how many millions? Yep that outta teach em Jesus Christ……
Is this true?So he pays a $3000 dollar fine…..? After taking in how many millions? Yep that outta teach em Jesus Christ……
seems like half of those in legislature run for office just to personally benefit from the influence they gain in govt...I think he should have known better. There are conflict of interest rules for a reason. If you have ANY question on the reasonableness of buying/investing in a building that as a legislator you may have some sway on whether your property is going to get public funds, it would have been best to just punt.
In general, I don't have an issue with a legislator whose primary source of income is rental properties renting to the State, but that legislator best show an incredible amount of restraint in their legislative role when it comes to influencing if a state agency is going to rent their property.
They cant kick him out or he might spill the bean on the scams the rest of them are involved in... Likely he knows too muchDon’t forget he gets to keep his seat and all the benefits that go with it
I’m not certain exactly how much he made on it but there were over 300k in payments made without invoices….. and the building itself ran over a million over budget from what I understand. According to the article the maximum punishment was a 3k fine or a year in jail…… so he will pay the 3k fine and have a deferred sentence…keep his legislative seat….. Pocket the hundreds of thousands or millions he made and not one fucking person will learn a lesson here and this shit will continue for the next politician to dip their grubby little dick beaters in the taxpayer pot.Is this true?
