WHO: Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-Pa.
WHAT: Kanjorski received $10,000 from Rep. Charles Rangel's, D-N.Y., National Leadership PAC, the political action committee of the powerful New York Democrat who is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee that writes tax law.
WHY IT'S DIRTY: Rangel is being investigated on multiple issues by the House Ethics Committee, including failure to report income from properties he owns in New York and the Dominican Republic. A company that gave $1 million to a New York school facility that will bear Rangel's name subsequently received lucrative tax breaks, and he has reportedly solicited political contributions on official stationary.
WILL KANJORSKI GIVE IT BACK? Kanjorski did not respond to The Examiner's request for comment.
THE SCORE: Number of Democrats who have given it back: 0 Number of Republicans who have given it back: 0 Gave donation to charity: Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo., Rep. David Price, D-N.C.
YOUR TURN: You can reach Kanjorski's Washington office at 202-225-6511
Don't know who is your congressman? Go to house.gov and look in the upper left-hand corner. Don't know who are your state's two senators? Go to senate.gov and look in the upper right-hand corner.
“It’s the corruption, stupid!”
Motto for 2010 elections.
Kanjorski is the guy who went on C-SPAN last winter and said that there had been a coordinated cyber attack on out money markets on the day of the Great September Crash of ‘08.
He has refused to revisit that subject ever since.
Must be part of the hush money payoff.
