Disability Fraud: Hal Rogers, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul should be more ashamed than Eric C. Conn

Eric C. Conn is a crook and it looks like he will get his day in court. He has made millions on possibly thousands of fraudulent disability claims.

But that is more of a symptom of a problem in this part of Kentucky. People have very few job opportunities and turn to these programs for whatever meager living programs like this can give them.

We are the 2nd poorest district in the country and that's what I wish the focus of the story would be when the national media comes to shed a light on our latest problems.

Poverty is the root cause of most of Appalachia's problems and as long as people continue to vote against their interests, that will never change.
