Great Falls Tribune: on Government Reform


Jon Tester: End policymaking for those with the biggest campaign checks

Tester accused members of the Republican-dominated Congress of making policies "for those who write the biggest campaign checks." Lest anyone miss the reference, Tester reiterated a fact that Democrats have used since last fall to spearhead their attack on Burns: that the senator accepted more money, about $150,000, from convicted Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates than any other member of Congress. "He sold us out," Tester said.
