Senator Conrad Burns: The Face of Corruption

The western face of Washington, DC's "Mount Corruption" portrays the image of Senator Conrad Burns.

"Burns took more money from Abramoff and his clients than any other member of Congress—nearly $150,000, according to Federal Election Commission records. A lawyer familiar with the investigation, who declined to be named discussing an ongoing case, confirms that Burns is under scrutiny for his connections to Abramoff—in particular, whether he and his staff promoted legislation to help Abramoff's clients in exchange for campaign contributions or gifts."

In November the good people of the State of Montana will have an opportunity to restore integrity in the United States Senate by electing a new Senator. Let us all hope that the face of Senator Conrad Burns will be erased from the political landscape.
