Summary: Landrieu attacks Kennedy over a report showing he cost Louisiana $37 million in potential revenue as treasurer.
Script of "Pennies" (TV)
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: John Kennedy says he's a penny-pincher.
(Text on screen: John Kennedy political ad)
But a Republican report shows as treasurer, Kennedy's mismanagement cost taxpayers $37 million.
(Text on screen: National Republican Senatorial Committee)
His own party cites "lax procedures" and failure to deposit checks on time, costing us $37 million. That's a lot of pennies. And one confused politician.
Mary Landrieu: Praised by taxpayer groups for voting against higher energy taxes.
(Text on screen: "Landrieu... worked hard to oppose new taxes on energy." -- National Taxpayers Union)
For smart investments in education and health care. Tough on waste.
