Ethics are for Others

Well it turns out that Mitch's "RV1" isn't just a mobile office. It's also a nifty campaign gimmick.

"A story on the fundraising event published Wednesday in the Evansville Courier and Press said that the governor "stopped by in his RV1 to stump for" Woodruff.

"People who made the $25 per family donation to get into the Woodruff fish fry on Tuesday lined up to shake hands and get pictures of the governor (and) tour RV1," the article stated."

State law is fairly clear on this, and for that matter so was Mitch supposedly. But perhaps the best quote is from the deputy Inspector General before the incident:

"Deputy Inspector General Jeff Gill -- speaking before the Democratic Party asked for the investigation -- was asked in general whether a state office or vehicle could be used for political fundraising. While stressing he was not giving an official opinion, Gill said no.

"Unless it's permitted by a general written agency policy, it looks to me like it would be prohibited," Gill said."

It really is about the arrogance with Mitch, he lays down a set of ethics rules that he thinks he's above. But we shouldn't care cause he's just a "good ole boy" like us. It's makes you wonder what the next thing he thinks he's above.
