Copland latest guilty plea in Abramoff scandal

Posted by LegiStorm on March 10, 2009

In what has lately seemed like a near-weekly occurence, another guilty plea has been entered with the Jack Abramoff scandal.

Today it was Ann Copland, a former aide to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), who pleaded guilty to accepting gifts from lobbyists in return for legislative favors. Court documents in the case revealed Copland asked for tickets to several events from lobbyists linked to Abramoff, even complaining that there were no hot dogs in the suite provided for a Baltimore Orioles game.

You can see Copland's salary history, the privately-funded trips she disclosed and her personal financial disclosures on LegiStorm.
