Democratic panel pays off Veon's campaign debt

February 21st, 2008, posted by CindySnyder

The state House Democrats’ campaign panel late last year paid off the campaign debt of former Rep. Mike Veon, who now makes his living lobbying the governor and Legislature.

The House Democratic Campaign Committee in November and December paid $40,683 to retire Veon’s campaign debt, according to Veon’s report filed recently with the state election bureau. Veon could not be reached Wednesday.

“Mike’s contribution as a leader to our collective effort meant a lot to us,” said House Majority Policy Chairman Todd Eachus of Luzerne County, who chairs the campaign committee.

But the committee’s other three leaders — Reps. Joe Preston, Dan Frankel and Jennifer Mann — apparently had no knowledge of the two payments.

Remember, this is $40k less they have available to spend on this year’s races. Let Veon raise the money himself to get out of the debt – plenty of politicians have to do that, what makes Mike Veon so special?

Because

Maybe it is because he knows too much and they want to keep him quiet.
