Top Ten Ethics Scandals of 2007
There is no ranking of these egregious activities, rather the following list outlines CREW’s new annual study on the past year’s on-going scandals:
- No new enforcement mechanisms for congressional ethics;
- Ted Stevens still sitting on Senate Appropriations;
- Senate Ethics Committee looking into Sen. Craig, but not Sen. Vitter;
- Millions of missing White House emails still unaccounted for;
- Rep. Murtha’s abuse of the earmarking process remains unchecked;
- Lurita Doan remains chief of GSA despite illegal conduct;
- White House covering up its role in the firings of the U.S. Attorneys;
- No Child Left Behind funds directed to Bush fundraisers who provide inadequate reading materials for kids;
- Court decision regarding search of Jefferson’s office limits ability of DOJ to investigate other corrupt lawmakers; and
- FEMA knowingly let Katrina victims live in hazardous trailers
