Look into lawmakers' wives' insurance ties

Readers • The Desert Sun • November 3, 2009

Where are the good old-fashioned reporters who used to give the public the news? How come no reporter has had the guts enough to tell the public that Sens. Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh have wives who work for the insurance companies and make lots and lots of money?


It would seem to me to be a conflict of interest for those men to even vote on any bill remotely connected with insurance. I also know that the men themselves receive money directly to their campaigns from the large insurance groups.

I want to know how many other elected members of Congress get large contributions from those groups and why we are not being informed.
