Someone mentioned this possibility. As nosy as I am, I had to check it out. It does look like Joni Ernst might be the new republican with a history of questionable acts that might be considered fraudulent and ILLEGAL. Excerpts: A construction company owned by GOP Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst’s father received more than $200,000 in county contracts while she served as auditor of Montgomery County, Iowa, despite a strict conflict of interest code governing the provision of contracts to family members of county officials. AND: The Iowa Code lays out stringent conflict of interest standards for county contracts. Chapter 331 of the code stipulates that “[a]n officer or employee of a county shall not have an interest, direct, or indirect, in a contract with that county.” The provision applies if 5 percent of a company’s outstanding stock is owned by either a county employee or an immediate family member – including a parent – of an employee. Instead of wearing bread bags on her feet, there might be a pair of hand cuffs in her future. ;0) salon/2014/10/07/exclusive_contracts_awarded_to_joni_ernsts_father_raise_conflict_of_interest_questions/
