Murphy and Gibson clash over BP

Jun 25, 2010 3:55 pm
From Leigh Hornbeck in Capitol Confidential:
When Congressional candidate Chris Gibson held a fundraiser with Rep. Tom Price after Price said the creation of a $20 million BP-funded escrow account illustrated that the Obama Administration “is hard at work exerting its brand of Chicago-style shakedown politics,” the DCCC called foul. Yesterday, Gibson [from Kinderhook] struck back and said his opponent, Rep. Scott Murphy, accepted money from BP – $1,000 in November, 2009. That’s true, but according to Murphy’s office, the congressman donated the money to the National Wildlife Federation June 9. Campaign spokesperson Mitch Wallace released this statement: “Congressman Murphy donated that money to the National Wildlife Federation weeks ago to go towards cleaning up the gulf. Actions speak louder than words. If Chris Gibson is going to talk about personal responsibility he should demonstrate some and give back the money he raised with British Petroleum’s defender Rep. Price at his high-priced Washington, DC fundraiser.” Read the entire story in Capitol Confidential.
