President controversy

Dan Meuser, the president of Pride Mobility, is currently running for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional district. Critics have raised concerns regarding possible conflicts of interest with Meuser's support of the Iraq war, because his company profits from providing scooters to wounded soldiers. Meuser denies that any conflicts of interest exist. [ Meuser: Sales no conflict of interest. "The Daily Item", April 2, 2008. [http://www.dailyitem.com/archivesearch/local_story_093234602.html] ]
