Scandal Plagued Firm Had Key Role In Passage Of Flawed Medicare Drug Plan
Yesterday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a call to Speaker Dennis Hastert for an investigation into the role that the Alexander Strategy Group, a firm with extremely close ties to Jack Abramoff, Rep. Tom DeLay and Rep. Roy Blunt, played in the passage of the fatally flawed Medicare drug plan.
From Pelosi's release:
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, and Congressman Henry Waxman, senior Democrat on the Government Reform Committee, sent the following letter to Speaker Hastert today asking for a congressional investigation into the role of the Alexander Strategy Group, a lobbying firm closely linked to Congressman Tom DeLay (R-TX) and Jack Abramoff, in the passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug Act and the drafting of the budget reconciliation bill currently before Congress.
The letter lays out a great deal of detail, please take the time to read it.
