As Congresspeople go, this really is not bad. One should expect considerable financial interest in Delawares Congressional delegation as one should expect agriculture interest in Iowa’s.
Despite the current denials going around the Hillary supporters in the Democratic party, who insist that one must first show a quid pro quo vote per campaign contribution in order to show acquiescence to ones donors, I can say with certainty, that over the past ten years, I have correctly predicted a legislators final vote based on who his campaign contributor were.
And with that, I leave you John Carney…… exposed……
