| headline | Congresman takes $40k bribe to steal $10 million |
| description | In 2005, Rep. Don Young (R-AK)waited until after the House and Senate passed a bill, but before the president signed it, to forge a passage granting $10 million for an interstate in Florida. His new wording targeted the money to a more specific project to connect Coconut Rd to that interstate. It's a boon for developer Daniel Aronoff, who held a $40,000 fundraiser for Young just before the earmark appeared. |
