North Carolina’s Secretary of Environmental and Natural Recourses is seeking an investigation into Democratic Senator Kay Hagan over how a company co-owned by her husband received $250,644 from the 2009 Stimulus Bill.
The Charlotte Observer is reporting:
Secretary of Energy and Natural Resources John Skvarla on Monday asked his staff to seek more information about a 2010 energy grant from the company co-owned by the husband of Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan.
Skvarla’s request came in response to a memo from his staff. It involved a $250,644 grant to JDC Manufacturing, which is co-owned by Charles “Chip” Hagan III, and also involves work that Hagan’s son, Tilden, did installing solar panels for JDC under the grant.
