Santorum's Jackpot

Hey everyone. I wanted to share some news with you all that's breaking today. Will Bunch has an article in the March edition of The American Prospect about Senator Rick Santorum's finances, both personal and political. GOP leaders have appointed Santorum as their Senate point man on ethics reform, but this article raises some serious questions about the way he conducts Pennsylvanians' business.
For instance, Santorum secured a mortgage refinancing in 2002 from a private Philadelphia bank on his $757,000 Leesburg, Virginia McMansion. The bank says it offers mortgages only to its clients, who must have investment assets of $250,000. On his disclosure form covering the period when he got the refinancing, Santorum listed less than $140,000 in total assets. And directors and officers of the bank have donated $24,000 to his campaign.
You can read the full article here: Santorum's Jackpot. And the sidebar (about the charity) is here: Sour Charity. And feel free to recommend this post only if you think other folks should see this info.
There are some bullet points after the jump...
