Union is one of Michigan Dem’s largest donors.
WFB:
Sen. Gary Peters (D., Mich.) has remained silent on whether he will return the thousands of dollars in donations that he received from the United Auto Workers after federal authorities arrested the union’s top leaders for corruption.
UAW’s PAC has donated more than $105,000 to Peters’s joint-fundraising committee. The committee in turn funneled $71,200 to Peters’s campaign and $278,800 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, according to financial disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission. The PAC’s donation made up roughly one-in-four dollars raised by the joint-fundraising committee, making the union by far the largest donor to the entity.
Peters’s campaign did not respond to a Washington Free Beacon inquiry about whether the senator will return the funds in light of recent revelations about widespread corruption within the union, which has so far led to guilty pleas from at least 11 union officials, including Gary Jones, the union’s former president.
The unions take the member’s dues and are supposed to fund pensions.
Instead they buy nice cars, nice junkets, and crooked Democrats.
They also buy automaker CEOs.
