National eyes are on the Interior’s Minerals Management Service scandal and Chevron is one of the companies holding up part of the investigation of this atrocity. Of course, Coleman’s received at least $12,000 in contributions from Chevron, who’s hands are dirty in this scandal. From the Washington Post:
The Minnesota Democratic party, officially known as the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, is asking Coleman to return the money. “It’s time for Norm Coleman to distance himself from this company and its role in this increasingly bizarre scandal,” the party’s deputy communications director, Frank Benenati, said a statement released today. The statement was subtitled “Cocaine, marijuana, sex, corruption — and Norm’s Big-Oil benefactor.”
Benenati called the scandal at Interior’s Minerals Management Service, which was detailed in an inspector general’s report this week, “particularly outrageous,” adding, “What’s more outrageous is that Norm Coleman’s corporate benefactor, the massive oil conglomerate Chevron, won’t cooperate in the investigation.”
The IG report said five Chevron employees refused to be interviewed for the investigation.
Read the whole story at the Washington Post. Will Coleman rid himself of this dirty cash or will he at least try to feign being not corrupt?
