That's not sitting well with incumbent Rep Ron Lewis (R-KY) -- the guy Mr Weaver is trying to unseat.
Rep Lewis, probably sore he didn't think of it first, is demanding the US Attorney's office look into the event as a case of "vote buying."
Speaking of "vote buying" -- we went to Rep Lewis' official House website (paid for by your tax dollars) and looked around for some pork barrel spending. We found Rep Lewis bragging about:
- $114,997 in Homeland Security money helping East Barren's Volunteer Fire Department protect "50 square miles of mostly rural area" from terrorists
- $250,000 to help celebrate Abe Lincoln's youth in Hodgenville, KY
- $150,000 to renovate the State Theatre in Elizabethtown, KY
