[For decades I've heard stories from both those who were transported and those in the transport business. Most often it was a free trip to town for alcohol rehab..."other ailments" to some lesser degree. My "teapot" contains enough statements from folks" in the know" to suspect abuse worthy of investigation]
So let me get this straight.  Your concept of Eastman's veracity is based upon anecdotes related to, by your own admission, "other ailments" and no direct relevance to the issue Eastman raised?
You admit that you are functioning upon rumors that are, by all reports, criticized or refuted by everyone else and yet you consider Rep. Eastman has "passed muster?"
