Grant To Sali: Return Halliburton Money

Democratic congressional candidate Larry Grant called on Idaho GOP Rep. Bill Sali today to return a $1,000 contribution from Halliburton, but Sali’s campaign said it’s not seriously considering Grant’s request. Grant, a former Micron Technology executive, pointed to two votes in Congress that he said made it even worse that Sali took campaign money in August from Halliburton’s company PAC. In both votes, Sali was part of a small minority opposing legislation to tighten federal contracting practices and provide more protections to whistleblowers. “Bill Sali votes against oversight on no-bid contracts and protections for the whistleblowers and then takes campaign contributions from one of the very companies under suspicion,” Grant said. He added, “I think Sali should give Halliburton’s money back. I would”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
