AL: Constitution Party Calls for Resignation of Rep. for Conflict of Interest in Oil Spill Contracting Scheme

From the Press Register:

The Constitution Party of Alabama is calling for the resignation of state Sen. Trip Pittman, R-Montrose, after it was revealed his company received $639,000 in contract work in response to the BP PLC oil spill. John Holland, the upstart party’s Gulf Coast coordinator for Alabama, suggested Tuesday that the senator was not responsibly representing Baldwin County. “These allegations along with apparent retaliation against county employees who raised questions about the dealings, in the views of the Constitution Party, make Sen. Pittman unfit to represent the citizens of his district,” Holland said in a news release.
