Put A Legislator In Your Pocket

December 29, 2008
 
Mesa State has forged ahead with the next phase of its "Line The Pockets Of A Republican" program by hiring State Representative Steve King to a consulting contract.

King will audit the College's security plan.

There's nothing illegal about a legislator having a day job; serving in the General Assembly is, after all, a part-time job.

However, since King plans to carry a bill this term that will require all schools, colleges, and universities to have incident response plans, King's contract raises some questions.

Are security audits a product that King sells?

If so, will King be carrying a bill that directly benefits him personally?

If not, should Mesa State have hired someone more qualified? Maybe someone who actually does this stuff for a living?

Either way, King's Mesa State contract should raise not only questions, but also eyebrows.
