Maine Watchdog posted a report today on jet-setting by the Pine Tree State’s 1st District U.S. Representative, Chellie Pingree. Videos show the first-term Democrat exiting from “a private plane owned by the firm of her significant other, Donald Sussman, Founder and Chairman of Paloma Partners, a billion dollar hedge fund.”
Pingree, the former CEO of Common Cause, and a frequent scold of elected officials abusing private perks, was found on several occasions traveling to farflung official events on a schedule matching the flight logs of Sussman’s plane.
This is no stranger than a former governor who (as attorney general) championed campaign finance reform being caught taking free flights from donors in violation of those same campaign laws.
Is it?
