(KMOV.com) -- More sparks are flying in the Missouri Senate race as Senator Claire McCaskill faces questions about her husband receiving tens of millions of dollars in federal subsidies.
News 4 has been looking into the story and reached out to both campaigns.
While Akins campaign didnt seem to want to talk about it, McCaskills campaign came back quickly to answer where the $40 million came from and where it went.
This is another baseless unfounded attack by congressman akin, said McCaskill spokeswoman Caitlin Legacki.
But the story actually came from an Associated Press investigation into federal money that went to McCaskills husband.
Reportedly he collected $40 million for low income housing developments that he ownsmoney that supplements rent for poor families.
If actions speak louder than words then Akins campaign said it all, by jumping on the report on Akins twitter page, and using it against McCaskill.

(12,904 posts)If he did provide the low income housing, then isn't the money in payment for services he actually provided? If so, why is there a problem?
And what's up with all the Dave Spence ads, when he hardly ran any all summer. Influx of cash?
