Georgia News(Week 4) - Fax Controversy

In a recent article, an incident is described in which David Mokowitz, a "longtime democrat," sent a fax to a fellow Democrat concerning a Republican fundraiser involving many organizations, etc. that once supported the Democrats. In his fax, which accidently found its way into the hands of Gov. Sunny Purdue, Moskowitz states: "Here's your program. Read it and vomit." Upon receiving knowledge of the fax, top GOP lawmakers immediately recommended Moskowitz's resignation from the State Ethics Commission. Many also feel that the fax shows partisanship, a claim further substantiated by the fact that Moskowitz "was appointed to the Ethics Commission last year by Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor, a Democrat." This is an interesting situation, as Moskowitz's action and language show obvious partisanship. Whether or not he'll face any consequences, however, is yet to be seen.
