As President Bush signed a bill extending US labor and immigration laws to the US-governed Mariana Islands, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in a press release today blasted US Senate candidate Bob Schaffer for his role in allegedly helping a now-jailed former lobbyist prevent such legislation while Schaffer served in the US House of Representatives.
Schaffer campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, countered that Schaffer's opponent never even inquired about labor conditions in the Mariana Islands while serving in the US House at the time.
