Weston Says All Senators "Being Painted With Same Brush"

With more explosive details coming out about the senate expense controversy, including talk of backroom deals, the Saint John MP believes the good work of many senators are being overshadowed by the actions of a few. 

Rodney Weston tells Tide News this is the most attention the senate has received in the last century, and everyone in the senate is being painted with the same brush. 

Weston says he has a hard time with comments that the PMO wields too much power and believes those who make those comments are "going a little too far in that sense" and says that people have to be accountable for their own actions.
