Rubio disappoints

I am disappointed in Sen. Marco Rubio’s vote to confirm Betsy DeVos for secretary of education. Over the years, Rubio has received contributions of more than $98,000 from the DeVos Family Foundation. He has received more from the DeVos family than any other sitting senator.

These contributions show a conflict of interest, and he should have abstained from his vote with integrity rather than going with the status quo.
