I read the indictment as well...since when does building a successful grocery store chain with his family, selling it for a profit, taking those proceeds and investing in a "private" land development as the financial backer with the developers constitute "at the taxpayers expense"? I think you have your characters in the plot confused...re-read the script and see if you can figure out the truth this time! Oh, and by the way, DOT board members are appointed, not elected, they are volunteers with absolutely no pay. Show me where Lanny benefited from his DOT work...not anywhere in the indictment or outside of the indictment. He only had to abstain from developing in his local area, not other counties, which he did. He has been honest and forthright on all accounts...know your story before you open your mouth and judge so harshly!
