Ney, "The Fat Man", and the $75,000 bribe
or, Zack Space, the citizens of the 18th District, and an Ethics Pledge.
The difference between Zack Space and Bob Ney is night and day. Ney, who entered a guilty plea for public corruption charges, accepted $75,000 in casino chips as a bribe to try to relax sancations on Iran so Fouad al-Zayat a Syrian-born criminal could sell airline parts to the Middle East nation. (Newsweek)
Zack Space signed an ethics pledge stating he will not accept free trips, gifts and meals from lobbyists. Zack Space also pledged to put the interests of the citizens of the 18th Congressional District first. Who did Ney put first: Foreign criminals who want to do business with Iran.
Night and day.
There is more corruption and mismanagment going on in the state. In Brown County the Clerk of Courts is Breeching the confidentiality of the court and her employees. She more then likely has committed several crimes.
