Democrats in Missouri have a way with voting massive funds their way. We saw it with the Carnahan family windfarm, and we’re seeing it again with Senator Claire McCaskill, who’s holding on to a slim lead against Rep. Todd Akin in the Missouri Senate race. This won’t bode well for her already-tanking unfavorability:
McCaskill’s husband operates or has direct financial interest in various projects which received payments totaling $966,270 in stimulus funds. McCaskill admits that she and her husband “share everything – assets, children, and a house. Some have implied that the assets of my family don’t belong to me. That notion is pretty archaic.”
Shepard Has Served As President Of Milan Manor Development, Which Received $403,200 From The Stimulus Bill:
- According To McCaskill’s PFD From 2005 To 2010, Shepard Had Assets In Milan Manor Associates. (Sen. Claire McCaskill’s Personal Financial Disclosures For Year 2005-2010, Center For Responsive Politics Website, www.opensecrets.org, Accessed 2/21/12)
