==Corruption Investigation==
Since 2003, Feeney has been under fire for corruption charges, which includes accepting a trip from now-convicted [[lobbyist]] [[Jack Abramoff]] to Scotland, and failure to disclose rental property in his 2003 financial reporting.<ref>http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/summaries/feeney.php</ref>
Although Feeney had admitted to the trip to [[Scotland]] as a "rookie mistake"<ref>http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/755441.html</ref>, later paying for the trip, and submitted a campaign ad in the 2008 elections admitting to his past, his tactic failed. Kosmos won by a large margin - 57 percent to 41 percent - the largest margin of defeat for a Republican incumbent in 2008.
