Reps. Rothman and Frelinghuysen Are Corrupt
Why don’t we call this what it is? (Emphasis mine.)
Reps. Steve Rothman and Rodney Frelinghuysen got nearly $10,000 in contributions from key defense contractors in the days surrounding their votes last week to keep funding a fighter jet engine that the military does not want.
The day of the vote, Frelinghuysen got a $1,000 contribution from General Electric’s political action committee, and it was his second $1,000 contribution from GE in May. The day after the vote, he added another $1,000 from Rolls-Royce North America PAC, forms filed with the Federal Election Commission show.
Rothman, D-Fair Lawn, got $2,500 from GE two weeks before the vote, and $4,000 from Rolls-Royce the week before that, FEC reports show.
Previous contributions in the current election cycle from the two companies’ PACs totaled $10,000 for Frelinghuysen and $3,000 for Rothman, FEC records show.
