Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) Violates House Ethics Rule

March 29, 2007

csp3.jpg From the  New Hampshire Union Leader:

Rookie Mistake? Rep. Carol Shea-Porter’s chief of staff, Harry Gural,called it a mistake by an inexperienced intern. The congresswoman’s government website contained a news release dated Feb. 16 announcing that she ” once again plans to run a campaign(in 2008) based more on message than money.” House rules clearly forbid political press releases from appearing on taxpayer-funded congressional websites.

 “She has launched her campaign at the taxpayer expense,” said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman, Ken Spain. “It’s either a blatant disregard for House ethics rules or another stumble on the part of Carol Shea-Porter.”

When informed by the Status that the release was on the website, Gural immediately took it down.

 He said it was “an inadvertent error by a junior staffer and does not reflect the high standards we set for our office”

    Well, at least the story in New Hampshire IS a story.

    In Maine, it wouldn’t even make a pot-it note:

    She is in charge of her office not an intern. Figures she would put the blame on someone like she always does. The voters of NH are getting tired of her fast.
