News > Doug Bandow Resigns from Cato over Controversy
From BusinessWeek via The Corner.
A senior fellow at the Cato Institute resigned from the libertarian think tank on Dec. 15 after admitting that he had accepted payments from indicted Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff for writing op-ed articles favorable to the positions of some of Abramoff's clients. Doug Bandow, who writes a syndicated column for Copley News Service, told BusinessWeek Online that he had accepted money from Abramoff for writing between 12 and 24 articles over a period of years, beginning in the mid '90s.
Ick. Writing articles for lobbyists for money and not disclosing it. Can't... get... clean... no matter... how much... you scrub.
