Today's New York Post posted an article about the investigation into the financial activities of Representative Charlie Rangel. Mr. Rangel has been charged with failing to report income, failing to pay income taxes on some income, and lying on his Congressional disclosure forms. The charges involve rent-controlled apartments, car storage, and other items which do call into question the man's moral compass. He is the head of the committee that writes and oversees tax codes (which evidently he does not fully understand).
According to the article:
"In a convoluted parliamentary charade, Democrats voted in nearly lockstep to thwart a resolution to remove Rangel from the powerful chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee, where he sits as the nation's top tax-writer -- at least until his numerous ethical and legal woes have been resolved."
Nancy Pelosi had promised that the investigation of Charlie Rangel would be completed by now, but somehow that has not been accomplished.
