Dicks, Murray and the Defense Industry Lobby

By Evan at September 18th, 2009.

Last week hotshot KPLU reporter Austin Jenkins got the scoop on Rep. Norm Dicks being named in a report on defense earmarks and campaign contributions. Front-page news, right?

Flashback to March of this year: FBI Investigates Lobbying Firm That is Generous to Murray, Dicks.

So where’s the follow up? Shouldn’t this be front-page news?

Apparently allegations of political corruption in the form of pay-to-play in our favor factory Congress isn’t a story anymore. Where’s the Seattle Times of 2008? Or the Seattle Times of 2007? Anybody? Anybody? Bueler?
