Must be a Dem - I didn't see his party affiliation anywhere in the article.

I am assuming he is a demoncrat, because if he were a Republican the article would have pointed that out several times (as in "Republican Congressman Charged"....Ballance, a Republican, is accused of....the Republican withdrew from the race....") But it wouldn't look so good for corruption to be directly linked to a dem, so he only gets identified by him name and his party is ignored.

The state found that the John A. Hyman Foundation was riddled with conflicts...

I think this Hymen Foundation should be popped!

The state found that the John A. Hyman Foundation was riddled with conflicts of interest...

Should the Hymen Foundation be allowed to remain intact?
