PSA Press Release: Lake is Exonerated

By liberalgeek November 22, 20094 Comments

Nancy Willing sent me this press release sent out by Frank Murphy today:

The Board of the Peoples Settlement Association today announced that Keith Lake, its Executive Director of 16 years, has been cleared of all allegations of misconduct. After a special investigation lasting more than one year, the State Auditor of Accounts provided Peoples Settlement with a report finding no evidence of illegal conduct or missing state funds. Representatives of Peoples Settlement recently met with the Auditor’s Office, and confirmed that Mr. Lake was exonerated of any wrongdoing.

It is funny how the same people keep popping up at all of these McDowell influenced organizations.

Last night I was able to listen to a repeat broadcast of yesterday's Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane (mp3). She spent an hour interviewing three guests about Nidal Hasan, the Ft. Hood killer. Unfortunately, I only got to hear the first half, but it was riveting. The first half hour was a discussion with Daniel Zwerdling, who has been interviewing Hasan's co-workers to find out what the missed signs were.

Apparently there is a Tea Party this Saturday in Dover. I guess that it is being advertised on Stormfront or wherever those people get together online. Last time they did this, there was a minor bruhaha about Tea Party barfly, Mike Protack and his demand for top billing. This time, an actual candidate for an actual office is speaking.
