Bob Ney from Ohio is on the list, and that disappoints me. Although he is a Republican, he is very down to earth and fights for us here in East Central Ohio. He has backed the steel industry and the coal industry, which were the bread and butter of many people here in the area. He did try to get federal funding to tear down a bridge that is privately owned, maybe by this Abramoff fellow, but I'm pretty sure he backed off of that. I have known him for about 15 years, (I used to work with his sister), and while some of his staff, well, 1 member of his staff, was/is slimey, it never reflected on Bob here in the community.
