And as this involves Dianne Feinstein, its doubly disappointing – she’s one of the few adults in the Democrat Senate caucus:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation early this year to channel $25 billion in taxpayer funds to a federal agency that had just awarded her husband’s firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties.
The California senator sought the additional funds for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to boost the agency’s efforts to avert home foreclosures – a huge issue in her home state.
But as the Washington Times first reported Tuesday, Feinstein’s intervention came around the same time the FDIC was awarding a multimillion-dollar contract to CB Richard Ellis Group (CBRE) – the commercial real-estate firm chaired by her husband, Richard Blum.
People are hurting and need help – but a Democrat smells the chance to make some money on the side and just can’t resist it.
So very sad – and there’s only one cure for it: beat the Democrats very badly in November.
