Questions linger on Schweitzer slush fund
The AP reported on 6/23 that "Schweitzer's office said Friday that he has not had a constituency account for months." That came in response to an appeal from Secretary of State Brad Johnson for Schweitzer to follow his example of fully disclosing all constituency account activity.
Schweitzer hasn't had a constituency account for months? That's certainly a new revelation. So what happened to all that money? Where did the tens of thousands of dollars go that Schweitzer had squirreled away in his personal slush fund? After the governor's inaugural ball in 2005, it was widely reported that a large surplus of money was diverted over to a constituency account, but that money has never been accounted for. Now we find out that it's apparently all been spent.
Inquiring minds want to know, don't they?
