News of the day: "Miers Family Received Inflated Price for Land Today, 10:01 AM Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers "collected more than 10 times the market value for a small slice of family-owned land in a large Superfund pollution cleanup site in Dallas where the state wanted to build a highway off-ramp," Reuters reports. "The windfall came after a judge who received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Miers' law firm appointed a close professional associate of Miers and an outspoken property-rights activist to the three-person panel that determined how much the state should pay." "The resulting six-figure payout to the Miers family in 2000 was despite the state’s objections to the "excessive” amount and to the process used to set the price." Reed Linked to Abramoff A Time magazine investigation shows that Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist now at the center of a federal probe, had a good friend eager to open doors at the White House: former Christian Coalition chief Ralph Reed. Reed is now running for Lt. Governor of Georgia." politicalwire.com
