Murtha Murtha Murtha

Pennsylvania dumbocrat John Murtha again comes under the culture of corruption spotlight as defense contractors associated with him are under investigation.

This time the names include Mountaintop Technologies which received $10 million in earmarks and Kuchera Industries which got $9 million in earmarks in 2008.  The Pennsylvania representative allegedly used his seniority and position on the U.S. House Appropriations committee to secure the earmarks that he passed on to companies with whom he had relationships.

Donations from executives of Mountaintop to Murtha’s campaigns amounted to $40,200 while employees of Kuchera kicked in $89,000. SOURCE.
