Blum projects his faults on others

On Oct. 13, the Iowa House Ethics Committee voted unanimously to dismiss ethics complaints against Abby Finkenauer. The committee called those allegations - promulgated by one of Rod Blum's campaign donors - baseless and without merit.
Meanwhile, Blum is under investigation by the The Committee on Ethics for the U.S. House of Representatives - an independent, nonpartisan entity - for failing to disclose information about a business he owns. The committee won't reveal its course of action until after the Nov. 6 election.
It's a mark of desperation and cowardice for Blum to project his own faults onto another candidate the way he has done over the past few weeks.
