Beverage's revelations: something sinister or "delusional ramblings"?


Sam Beverage (pictured on the right), former state highway engineer and the only indicted official in the Fletcher administration who was not pardoned, has revealed in court that Fletcher (and former Governor Patton to a certain extent) used a $42 million fund "where the real politics is played," to reward political supporters and punish enemies. To buttress his claim, Beverage stated that "there is a computer listing of all the project requests in the commissioner's office that could easily be traced to political favors. This fund is essentially a large campaign chest and is used accordingly."

So my question is: Are Beverage's accusations a "ridiculous ... part of the politics of destruction that continues to go on" and the "delusional ramblings from someone who was trying to get his hide out of jail," as both Fletcher and Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert have called them or something more sinister?
