This article focuses on scandal that took over Ron Carey, a politician. The scandal that has overtaken Ron Carey's reformed Teamsters was driven by the whatever-it-takes mentality of a small number of consultants in Carey's 1996 campaign to win re-election as union president. Citizen Action, which was spearheading a major push to tight the conservative assault on Medicare, Medicaid and environmental regulation, was raising large sums of money for its get-out-the-vote effort and was apparently central to the scheme.
