NEPA News - Don Sherwood Linked To Criminal Congressman Duke Cunningham - Sherwood Says "I can't criticize him"

NEPA News - NEPA News - 12/01/2005 - House members give away contributions from Cunningham: "Rep. Don Sherwood said he accepted an in-kind contribution of $901 from Cunningham's political action committee, but could not return the money or donate it because it was reimbursement for a flight Cunningham took to Pennsylvania for a veterans event.

"I'm very sad about this. This is terribly unfortunate, but Duke was a fighter ace pilot and the fact that he got around and talked to veterans, I can't criticize him for that," Sherwood said. "Not knowing that there was anything improper going on, I think that was a proper thing for me to do. It was a veteran talking to veterans and it was a man with very interesting stories to tell of his service in Vietnam.""
