Readers: Conrad knew of special treatment

Last week, The Jamestown Sun asked readers of its Web site the question “Do you believe Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., knew he was getting preferential treatment, as a former employee of Countrywide Financial Corp. has alleged, on loans he took out with the company?” Here are the results of the unscientific survey:

Yes, he knew

79.4 percent (112 responses)

I don’t care what he knew

8.4 percent (12)

No, he did not know

7.1 percent (10)

I don’t know

5 percent (7)

Total responses: 141

The next question for Sun readers to consider is “Did you take advantage of the government’s “Cash for Clunkers” program, which pays Americans to trade in older vehicles for newer, more fuel-efficient models?” Readers can answer by logging on to www.jamestownsun.com.
