Congressman Tom Feeney ties to Abramoff hang over campaign

Ties to disgraced lobbyist Abramoff hang over Feeney's campaign

WASHINGTON - Two people stand between U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney and a fourth term: Suzanne Kosmas and Jack Abramoff.
Kosmas is his Democratic opponent. Abramoff is his albatross, a convicted influence-peddler who took Feeney and seven others on a Scotland golf junket in 2003.
Feeney, while insisting he didn't know Abramoff picked up his tab, ultimately repaid the $5,643 he said was his share of the trip. But for the past year, he has faced a lingering federal investigation that -- though it has produced no criminal charges -- has provided campaign ammunition for Democrats.
