Democrat Congressman Fined For Ethics Violation


It isn't the one you think. C'mon you expect anything to happen to Charlie Rangel?
How did I miss this? My representative, David Scott (D-GA/13) just got fined by the Georgia state ethics committee.
U.S. Rep. David Scott (D-Ga) was fined $7,500 by the state Ethics Commission Thursday for failing to file reports showing what he did with leftover campaign money he raised while he served in the General Assembly.

Scott served two decades in the General Assembly from Atlanta before being elected to Congress in 2002.
Nice of him to stay in character since in 2007 he was named to the list of 25 most corrupt politicians in Congress. The voters in his district didn't care he had all the mandatory requirements to be congressman. The right skin tone and the right party affiliation. He beat an African American woman doctor who was a Republican.

My only question is why did the Georgia legislature wait for 5 years to start investigating?
