Matthew D. Parker, who serves as campaign manager for embattled GOP Rep. Bob Ney, has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, which is investigating the Abramoff scandal.

Parker and Ney bought houses on the same street in Heath last year within days of each other. Parker's congressional salary also climbed exponentially throughout the year, quarterly House of Representatives expense reports indicate.
Parker went from earning $4,440 in the year's first quarter, to $10,000 in the second quarter, to $18,499 in the third quarter to $33,500 in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, Bill Burton, communications director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, issued a statement predicting that "Ney's cover-ups could soon become bright orange coveralls."
