Siegelman Indicted On More Charges In Under Investigation No Agenda In October, we reported that former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was charged "in a 'widespread racketeering conspiracy' that includes allegations he took a bribe from former hospital executive Richard Scrushy for a key state appointment." Well, yesterday, he was indicted on more charges... <<< A federal grand jury on Monday indicted former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth Chairman Richard Scrushy on more charges in a political corruption case. The new indictment accuses Scrushy of paying off Siegelman for a seat on the state health regulatory board, and accuses both men of wielding improper influence over the board. [...] The indictment claims Scrushy made "two disguised payments" totaling $500,000 to Siegelman in exchange for Siegelman appointing him to the state's Certificate of Need Review Board, which decides on hospital expansions. The indictment also accuses Siegelman and Scrushy of making sure that when Scrushy left the board, he was replaced by another HealthSouth employee. In addition, the indictment alleges that payments of $3,000 and $8,000 were made to board members to advance HealtSouth's interests. >>> How's this for irony... Siegelman believes this all an attempt to derail his new campaign for governor... "They [Republicans] are going to try to pull every trick in the book to manipulate the 2006 election," he said. Just like the Democrats are doing to Tom DeLay, right, Mr. Siegelman? noagenda.org noagenda.org apnews.myway.com
