Gordon Smith: Lawbreaking lawmaker
"I think lawmakers should not be lawbreakers," Smith said.Of course, Gordon has never been a lawbreaker. Or has he?
Open mouth, insert foot.
See, Smith Frozen Foods, a company owned by Gordon Smith, has been fined multiple times for illegal dumping into local Pendleton waterways.
Smith Frozen Foods, the Pendleton-area processing plant owned by U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith, has paid a $3,000 fine for discharging wastewater into a nearby creek in late July.Gordon obviously isn't aware that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
It marks at least the third time since the early 1990s that the company has been fined for polluting Pine Creek, which runs past the plant located a few miles from the city. [emphasis mine]
UPDATE, Andrew: The point needs to be made that Gordon Smith has leveled an accusation against Jeff Merkley that is without merit.
He's just looking for some kind of ammunition he can use in his campaign to shine the spotlight on his opponent. Unfortunately for Gordon Smith, a frivolous complaint won't get him anything more than a few headlines. He can't refute the fact that he's a Bush Republican. That's his biggest problem.
