update on the dirty money...

Apparently the Cunningham money was not returned as previously reported below. The Tracy Press is reporting that, "The $2,000 from Cunningham went to the Boys & Girls Club chapter in Tracy; Abramoff’s money went to a chapter of the group working with the Red Lake Chippewa tribe of Minnesota..." ($7,000 from Abramoff)

The article also points out that "Congressman Richard Pombo has received more than $10,000 in contributions from defense contractors.”

Say No To Pombo blogged about the 'FBI Probing Pombo-Abramoff Connection' referencing a LA Times article entitled, 'FBI Follows Money in Tribe's Beltway Success - The Mashpee gave tens of thousands to lobbyist Jack Abramoff and California Rep. Pombo.'

In a press release, "Commenting on this development Democratic challenger Jerry McNerney stated, "The LA Times piece is just the latest evidence of his pattern of unethical behavior involving political contributions for legislative action.""
