Rep. George Miller (D-CA) has long been known for carrying water for labor unions. Now Kevin Mooney of the D.C. Examiner asks if he’s carrying dirty union money around, too:
“WHO: Rep. George Miller, D-CA, chief House sponsor, Employee Free Choice Act (aka Card Check).
WHAT: Miller received the following dirty money: Communication Workers of America (PAC) $10,000 in 2008 cycle; $10,000 in 2006 cycle; Boilermakers Union (PAC) $10,000 in 2008; $6,500 in 2006.

WHY IT’S DIRTY: At least eight members of these four unions have been convicted since 2001 of felonies ranging from embezzlement, falsifying official reports to government, mail fraud and conspiracy.”
-Kevin Mooney, “Dirty Money: Rep. George Miller,” D.C. Examiner, March 9, 2009
Mooney reports that Miller is ignoring media inquiries on the matter.
