State Senate majority leader Steven Horsford showed he is still pond scum when he tried to shake down donors in get money for his PAC.
Horsford, if you remember, is the senator who decided he was so important that he parked in a handicapped parking place when he was not disabled.
He said that if someone paid $25,000 they can have a dinner with him and senate committee chairs. Problem is that none of the other senators knew about this scam.
From Nevada News and Views: Cough up $25,000 to join Horsford’s “Victory Leadership Circle” and you and ten of your friends “will receive a private dinner with the Senate Majority Leader and Chairs of all the standing committees.”
• Peel out $10,000 to join Horsford’s “Chairman’s Leadership Circle” and you and seven of your friends “will receive a private dinner with the Senate Majority Leader and a Chair of a standing committee of their choice.”
• Dish out $5,000 to join Horsford’s “Caucus Leadership Circle” and you “will be entitled to a private reception with the Senate Majority Leader and Nevada Senate Democrats.”

Horsford got caught and is now offering to return the money but of course, if you donated the money to please the Senator, you are not going to piss him off by asking for the money to be returned.
Nothing like sleazy Nevadan politics.
What a scandal. This Horsford guy turned out to be a real idiot!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take my vote back for the 2008 primary election and change it to John Bonaventura, at least I know John would not have been involved in any of this corruption.
Voters without money are now doomed! Special interests will rule our lives!
