\"\"<\/a>Self-appointed filter of worthy republicanism – Roger Kook<\/del>Koopman – seems to be walking around with a pretty big log<\/a> in his eye these days. [Luke 6:42]<\/p>\n

Sources at the Department of Labor have confirmed that Roger Koopman, the arch-conservative leader and former legislator from Bozeman, has been notified by the Department of Labor that he is violating Federal Law. It appears that he could face criminal prosecution if he continues to defy multiple cease and desist orders.
\nKoopman’s employment firm, Career Concepts, has been collecting massive fees, which sources say are as high as $1500 in some cases, from job applicants who are unemployed and have been answering job offers on the state jobs website. That is a federal crime.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I probably don’t rate very high on Koopman’s scale of “good” conservatives, but I’m pretty sure that the conservative values I subscribe to would not include bilking unemployed job seekers out of thousands of dollars for information that should be free, and breaking the law in the process. Not my kind of conservatism.<\/p>\n

So maybe it’s time to call in an ophthalmologist, ’cause I just can’t see him having a role in the Montana Republican Party any more.<\/p>\n
