| Description | (AP) The day after President Bush named him homeland security secretary, Tom Ridge visited the Arizona home of a friend whose lobbying firm represented companies that were later awarded contracts by Ridge's department.
The trip was the first of two Ridge made in late 2002 and early 2003 to spend time off at the Scottsdale, Ariz., home of prominent Bush-Cheney fund-raiser David Girard-diCarlo.
After the first visit, two of Ridge's aides were hired as homeland security lobbyists by Girard-diCarlo, whose political fund-raising in Pennsylvania in the 1990s was instrumental in Ridge's election as the state's governor.
