Who's Who In Special Interests & Convicted Felons
Have you ever wondered who would be on the list of "Who's Who In Special Interests"? Well, all you have to do is look at Mike Beebe's contribution report from the month of May alone and it looks like an attorney and special interests directory. It seems that Mike Beebe will continue to accept contributions from entities that he regulates despite the obvious ethical questions this raises. It looks as though every member of the AT&T administration was asked to give Mike a donation.
Here are a few excerpts from the report...note convicted felon Jim Guy Tucker at the bottom. Flashback: Beebe also seems to be good friends with Susan McDougal...
