John Murtha is a seventeenth-term member of Congress, representing the
12th district of Pennsylvania. His ethics issues stem from abuse of
his position as Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations
Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee to benefit clients
of his brother, Robert “Kit” Murtha, a registered lobbyist.

KSA Consulting

In 2002, Kit Murtha was hired by KSA Consulting, a firm that lobbies
the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee on behalf of defense
contractors. Mr. Murtha joined the firm at the invitation of top KSA
official Carmen Scialabba, who had worked for Rep. Murtha on the House
Appropriations Committee for 27 years.

In 2004, Congress passed a $417 billion defense appropriations bill
that went through Rep. Murtha’s subcommittee. The bill benefitted at
least 10 companies represented by KSA and KSA directly lobbied Rep.
Murtha’s office on behalf of seven of those companies, which received
a total $20.8 million in earmarks.

PMA Group

Paul Magliocchetti worked with Rep. Murtha as a senior staffer on the
Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Defense for 10 years. After
leaving the committee, Mr. Magliocchetti founded the PMA Group, which
has become one of the most prominent Washington, D.C. defense lobbying
firms. In the current campaign cycle, the PMA Group and 12 of the
firm’s clients rank in the top 20 contributors to Rep. Murtha, having
made campaign contributions totaling $274,649. In turn, many of PMA’s
clients have benefited significantly from Rep. Murtha’s earmarks. In
the 2006 Defense appropriations bill, PMA clients received at least 60
earmarks, totaling $95.1 million.

House ethics rules prohibit members from taking any official actions
for the prospect of personal gain for themselves or anyone else. In
addition, Rule XXIII of the House Ethics Manual requires all members
of the House to conduct themselves “at all times in a manner that
reflects creditably on the House.” By earmarking funds for companies
represented by Kit Murtha and Paul Magliocchetti, Rep. Murtha has
violated House rules.

Scott in Florida

He might be on the Shit List, but he has Nancy Pelosi's full support.

Do you suppose that means anything? Hmmm ...

Pelosi is backing him for majority leader so he wouldn't run against her for
Speaker.

Pelosi is backing him because he supported her. Hoyer should have the
majority leader post locked up if folks vote the way they said they
would. The new kids in Congress are aware that Murtha comes with
baggage.

Looks like our friend Little Richard AKA dick, is redundant as well. 'Being
redundant again,' indeed LOL

How very interesting. Why, pray tell, didn't the House Ethics Committee do
something about this, given that Murtha was a member of the Decidedly
Minority Party?

In fact, the House Ethics Committee still has a few weeks to do something
about this before the Democrat majority takes over.

Will they do something? I'm not holding my breath. I see you failed to
tell us the source of the document. WingNutDaily? It does look like their
cramped-yet-hydrophobic style.
