I don't have much detail on this story that broke in the AJC.
MY Congressman Nathan Deal has been getting rich while holding public office. No big shock. Most political hacks get richer in office.
Here's a sample post from a lefty blog of the emerging allegations of unethical, insider deals for Con. Deal.
"How did my dear Congressman become so wealthy while in office? SWGA Politics has the scoop. While it is too long to excerpt here, a brief synopsis follows.
Dude gets elected.
Dude takes advantage of legislation through a no-bid process.
Twenty years later, good government guy starts to question said legislation.
Dude (now a Congressman) leans on the good government guy to keep that sweet gravy train running.
Seriously, grab a snack and check it out."

When will the Times educate the Congressman's constituency? Is there a plan for a by invitation only townhall sponsored by the Chamber on this corruption charge? Will the charges be answered by a tele-townhall?
Maybe the story will get buried before it buries the Next Governor of our Great State. At least in the great man's hometown.
