There She Goes Again. Bacchiochi Gets Government Money for Her Business, Too.

Republican lieutenant governor hopeful Penny Bacchiochi has tripped again. The Stafford state representative has been criticizing rival Heather Bond Somers for state job training money for the biomedical company in which she was a partner. Turns out Bacchiochi has a taste for public funding. The accident-prone candidate advertises it on her property management company’s website.

From the home page of Bacchiochi’s Louis Management, LLC:

” The majority of our apartments are financed by the United States Dept. of Agriculture’s Rural Development Housing Program – and some of these units come with Rental Assistance. (Rent is based on income).”

Don’t be surprised if Bacchiochi gets pressed to reveal some details that conflict with her condemnation of “corporate welfare.”

The Republican primary is on August 12th.
