Bob's dog and pony show rolls on.
Remember that money he took from the horse racing industry?
After further research the Perspectives Weekly host discovered that Bob Goodlatte returned funds sent to his personal account from the horse racing industry, but then Goodlatte created a Political Action Committee (PAC) under his name and named it the 'Good Fund'. The 'Good Fund', it was reported, received more than $15,000 in contributions from the Horse Racing industry that was not returned."Representative Goodlatte comes off as holier than holy, righteous as they come, but really, he's just a little sneakier than his supporters understand, but the truth about his motivations are coming out and they are making him, and his UIGEA law, look really really bad," said Casino Gambling Web gaming analyst, Gordon Price.
Currently, the US is facing compensation claims of more than $100 million from more than ten different nations around the world because the UIGEA was deemed an illegal law by the World Trade Organization.

From the Pokerati.com comment thread comes this....uh...very candid observation by "DanM":
And the Goodlatte investigation - perfect. But what will it take for his voters to see what a skillful, unprincipled political scumbag he is? Makes me want to hire a male hooker to accost him in a bathroom. Good times.
Well! How do you really feel? :) :)
Speaking for myself, I always knew that we'd find some corruption, somewhere, in the Goodlatte operation. Go figure, when you have a guy that sides with Big Tobacco over little children, tells a constituent there shouldn't be a minimum wage, tells another constituent, "I don't have better health insurance than you", and broke his own term-limits promise.....I promise you, there will be some money to follow.
Or perhaps, "track" would be a better word.
