Cross posting this because it links the fungal meningitis outbreak to the Romney and Brown campaigns
This pertains to the fungal meningitis allegedly caused by steroid medication manufactured at the New England Compounding Company in Framingham MA. It seems then governor Romney was directly responsible for state regulatory agencies that were supposed to oversee and administer disciplinary actions to the NECC.
Romney's lax regulation may have fueled meningitis outbreak
WCVB-TV in Boston has reported that NEC president Greg Coniglario hosted a fundraiser for Sen. Scott Brown, bringing in $37,000 for the Brown campaign against Elizabeth Warren. Conigliaro and members of his family have reportedly given $10,000 of their own money to Brown.
In July, Brown was one of 10 senators to sign a letter to the Drug Enforcement Agency arguing that regulations on the compounding industry should be loosened.
Conigliaro also contributed $2,500 to the Romney for president campaign.
