If you follow your link just one step further, you get a better breakdown of how much she took from the Real Estate sector: $14,000. This compares to, in that sector only, $26,158 from Commercial Banks, $27,000 from Securities and Investments, and $71,875 from Insurance. So really, the Real Estate sector accounted for only 2.7% of the PAC money she took that year. Interesting what you find when you actually research a topic. --[[User:Jareddr|Jareddr]] 12:47, 21 August 2008 (EDT) | | :I think you are missing some critical information.

| | + | ::I think you are the one missing the point. This is a person who took money from a sector in crisis at a time when it was politically convenient to do so. Her doing so is suspect, no matter how much of a hero she was to far-left politicos. I'm sorry she passed away, but it changes nothing about her troubling record. Affirmative action doesn't excuse questionable conduct. [[User:LarryHapp|LarryHapp]] 14:03, 21 August 2008 (EDT) |
