DUI Arrest Puts Spotlight on Florida Congressman's Daughter ( Rep. John Mica)
Source: ABC News

John Mica Oversaw Big Road and Rail Projects; D'Anne Mica Listed Key Contractor as a Client

The highly publicized arrest last week of U.S. Rep. John Mica's daughter for driving under the influence has spurred the Florida Republican's political opponents to renew their focus on connections between the congressman's work on Capitol Hill and his daughter's connection to a powerful Florida construction company.

Congressman Mica is the ranking Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. His daughter D'Anne Leigh Mica, 34, a public-relations executive, has a web site that identifies one of the largest transportation engineering and construction firms in the country, Florida-based PBS&J, as one of her clients.

How much money the company has paid the congressman's daughter is unclear. In an interview on Monday night, D'Anne Mica told ABC News that she never did any direct work for the national contractor, and the public relations job had nothing to do with her father.

"My father has no idea what I do in my business. And I have no idea what he does in his," she said.

...

Rusty Roberts, Rep. Mica's chief of staff, said he can't figure out why D'Anne listed PBS&J as a client. Roberts initially told ABC News that D'Anne may have helped train company executives to speak effectively on television. But after a conversation with D'Anne, he called back to say she had never done any work for the firm at all.

1. Get her so drunk that she 'opens the vault'
and I bet lots of connections between her father's office & what she does for a living would come to light.

Corrupt Congressman John Mica. His Daughter D’Anne. Living Off The Fat Of The Land:

“…The Mica Family Hustle is a stunningly simple one. It is also an ill-gotten fraud - on you. Congressman John Luigi Mica scratches his greasy projectile chin-sweat at the American public. Congressman John Luigi Mica continues to engage in corrupt acts solely benefitting the pocketbooks and wallets of aero-mercantilists and other transportation private-sector mercenaries – always to the utter harm of ordinary American citizens. The cash-in-the-envelope that Congressman Mica receives in exchange, materializes when these companies put John Mica’s 34-year-old drunk-driving porcine publicist daughter D’Anne Leigh Mica on the transportation-industry payroll, through the guise of public-relations services agreements with her company “Mica Strategic Communications”.
