Ads target Ney for role in Abramoff scandal
Thursday, June 16, 2005

The liberal Campaign for America’s Future began running newspaper ads criticizing Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) for his role in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.

Ney has been under fire for using his position to help Abramoff and his wealthy tribal clients. He sponsored a rider to help the Tigua Tribe of Texas reopen its casino in exchange for $30,000 in campaign contributions, the group says. Abramoff's tribes also help pay for Ney's visit to a golf course in Scotland.

Ney denies any wrongdoing and says he was "duped" by Abramoff into supporting the Tigua Tribe.
