Dept. Of Oops
From The "Oops" Dept:
As we noted when we ran our Futures Market column for KS, it was the first time a member of our class of '03 had actually been indicted for a crime. That distinction fell upon '03 KS nominee Adam Taff (R), who pleaded guilty in late November for taking $300K in campaign funds and using the cash to put a down payment on a new house. The Kansas City Star reports that today, Taff was sentenced to 15 months in prison and fined $50K.
Well, maybe he'll be back in time for our '08 rising stars list. Then again, maybe not.
