Politician's wife scrutinized for her commission earnings

Congressman's wife raises money for political campaigns and gets a cut.
By The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO -- Raising money for Rep. John Doolittle's political campaigns has generated more than $136,000 in commissions for the congressman's wife over the past three years, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The arrangement between the Roseville Republican and Julie Doolittle's company, Sierra Dominion Financial Solutions, is not illegal, but it has sparked an ethics complaint from an activist group, according to a report in The Sacramento Bee.

The disclosure follows the resignation of Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham this month on bribery charges and the ongoing investigation into the business dealings of lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

A group calling itself Californians for a Cleaner Congress, funded by labor and Democratic-leaning groups but officially nonpartisan, issued an open letter to Doolittle criticizing his fund-raising activities and raising question about his wife's commissions.

congresscritters bite the big one? It's almost too good to be true>

2. Nah. It says it wasn't illegal. And if ethics probes were catalysts for

them to resign, there wouldn't be any repubs left in congress by now! LOL

Course, the more bad press we give these sons of bitches and the more we expose their culture of corruption, the better and better our chances get in 06 :)
