Aide To Pombo Under Fire

An aide to Rep. Richard Pombo is under fire for ethics violations.

According to the Contra Costa Times:

Rep. Richard Pombo's top aide might have violated congressional ethics rules by not correctly reporting all of his outside political work and making too much money from California campaigns and consultants, the aide said Friday.

Steven Ding regularly worked for candidates and organizations with close ties to Pombo, a Tracy Republican who is chairman of the House Resources Committee.
