Minister of State Gary Goodyear Moves From Small Time Scandals to the Big Time
"But this scandal has the potential to really do in Gary Goodyear. Unless he can explain why a company he owns is charging his wife's employer $3,000/month for an office they don't use, it looks like he is not just associated with crooks, but a crook himself."
