McDonnell Rents Home to His Appointee

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) “has found a way to defray part of his monthly real estate expenses on the millions in property he owns — by renting his western Henrico home to his hand-picked state health commissioner,” the Richmond Times Dispatch reports.

“News that the governor entered into a financial relationship with a top state official under his supervision comes as federal and state investigators probe the gifts the first family and McDonnell have received during his time in office and his relationship with Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams Sr.”
