``Allen's press secretary has said the contribution was acceptable because Smithfield Foods did not specify anything it wanted in return'' for $125,000. Well, by your count, the company has been cited 24 times for polluting a river, with no fine.
If I got 24 citations for speeding, do you think Governor Allen will tell the State Police and judges not to fine me? Get real.
