Bean too must explain finances
The Daily Herald is right to push Republican candidate Joe Walsh for further disclosure of his foreclosure situation, since 8th District congressional voters need to know if he made poor financial choices or whether he, like many other people, suffered consequences that were beyond his control.
But 8th District voters also expect that the Daily Herald won't accept Congresswoman Melissa Bean's lame answer about contributions from Charlie Rangel being "money already spent." Are we to believe that Bean's staff marked the dollar bills so they could identify "Charlie's money," or perhaps she has a separate "tainted contributions" account? Why is Bean keeping money from a tax cheat? We voters want to know.
