Ahh, the benefits of being married to a U.S. Senator. A new report from Politico shows Kay Hagan voted for Obama’s 2009 stimulus, then her husband’s company reaped the benefits and his income increased dramatically:
JDC Manufacturing, a company co-owned by the Democratic senator’s husband, Chip, received nearly $390,000 in federal grants for energy projects and tax credits created by the 2009 stimulus law, according to public records and information provided by the company.
…
Financial disclosure statements show that the Hagans’ income from JDC Manufacturing increased from less than $201 in 2008 to nearly $134,000 in 2013.
Maybe next time Hagan will just swing by the Treasury and ask for a bag to go.
