footnotes=Carlos Alberto Verna (born 1946) is an Argentine
Justicialist Party (PJ) politician, formerly governor ofLa Pampa Province .Verna became a senator for La Pampa in 1993.
Verna won the 2003 election to be governor with the support of
Carlos Menem , against the candidate of theFront for Victory faction of the Justicialist Party,Néstor Ahuad . Verna was not close to fellowPeronist PresidentNéstor Kirchner and was likely to be challenged by his own party if he attempted to be re-elected in 2007. Verna was caught up in the scandal concerning publicSIDE funds being paid to senators by the government ofFernando de la Rúa to support labour reform.As a consequence, Verna declared he would not seek political office following the end of his term in 2007 [http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/09/12/um/m-01270051.htm] and he left office in December 2007.
