Goode's Contributors Reap MZM Benifits
October 17, 2006
|
This is the second in a series of releases outlining
Republican incumbent Virgil Goode’s pay to play
politics.
Mr. Goode often claims that his involvement in the MZM scandal was good for the Martinsville area. He cites MZM brought business to local contractors. He does not mention that the only contractors to win bids also donated to Goode’s campaign. “Contractors should not have to pay a tithe to their congressman to get business. It is very suspect to me that the only people involved in this deal were friends and contributors of Mr. Goode. Yet again I ask the question, who is he working for? Many people in central and Southside Virginia can’t afford to donate to a campaign. What has he done for them? Bowles Properties received a $1,530,000 contract. Triangle Electric received a $345,192 contract. Prillaman and Pace received a $60,000 contract. Executives from these companies donated nearly $3,000 to Goode before receiving these contracts. “The general contractor got about $350,000 out of it”, Goode said (min. 29) Once again, Goode neglects to mention what he got out of it. There are thousands of good, hardworking citizens in the Fifth District. They are asking for good wages, job security, and access to quality healthcare. Unfortunately most of them are competing on an uneven playing field against Goode’s financial contributors. |
