      D’s and R’s have both been guilty of this kind of thing. Affiliation doesn’t matter, this is corruption and cronyism. He should be out yesterday. Blind trusts or divesting should be a requirement for entering any elected office.

        I mean, I agree with your stance that corruption is corruption and should be punished regardless of side. But you’re missing the point.

        The point I’m making is that whenever it’s a Democrat being accused, the headline is “Democratic State Representative Caught in Ethics Probe” but when it’s a Republican, suddenly the party isn’t important until seven paragraphs down. It’s shockingly consistent.
