Writer's blatant 'bribe' for vote is appalling

| December 16, 2009 8:00 PM

I found it fascinating that in his guest opinion of Dec. 6,  2009, Mr. Starr was so blatant in his offer of a bribe to Rep. Walt Minnick, D-Idaho. One might be so crass as to suggest that this is an attempt to buy the congressman’s vote on health care legislation.  But I don’t suppose that sort of thing happens outside of Chicago.
