According to the Washington Times, none of it is unethical.Waters told the newspaper (LA Times) her family's businesses were separate from her political career.
Citing public disclosure records, the newspaper reported of the $1.7 million L.A. Vote, a Los Angeles political organization that publishes election mailers endorsed by Waters, collected in the last eight years, nearly $450,000 went to Waters' daughter, Karen, and her consulting firm.
Around $115,000 was reportedly paid to the son of the congresswoman.
Waters' husband, Sidney Williams, was reportedly paid nearly $500,000 for consulting work with Siebert, Brandford & Shank, a municipal bond company and from politicians the congresswomen has backed.
It might not, but it should be.
I wonder...are any of you suprised when a black political figure is found to be taking money off the top of some organization or engaging in cronyism? I'm not. Hell, I can think of six off the top of my head since 2000. Ah well.
