Birds of a feather ...?

Lt Gov Diane Denish has divested herself from a campaign contribution from the now disgraced Educational Retirement Pension Fund Chair Bruce Malott, link. Though, apparently,
Denish has not see fit to return money from "his company".

This is not the first time Denish has bought her way out of connections to folks whose corruption has been publicized, link.

Of course, on a fundamental level, is it wrong to judge people by the company they keep.

That said, an awful lot of people agree that,
you are known by the company you keep.

And if you hang out with a lot of corrupt people, and take money from them according to their interests in getting you elected, people will rightly wonder if you too, are corrupt.

And then vote for someone, anyone, else instead.

It is time to clean out the Rot in the Roundhouse by electing people who are not part of the entrenched and corrupt party in power.

In this case it happens to be Democrats; not because they are Democrats but because they are the party in power and have been the party in power for long enough to be corrupted by the power they wield (without accountability).
