U.S. Rep. Phil Hare, locked in a tight re-election campaign, is calling on 17th Congressional District GOP challenger Bobby Schilling to return a $5,800 donation he recieved from Cintas, the country's largest laundry company. Hare had previously called for an investigation into the company's workplace practices following the death of Tulsa-based worker Eleazar Torres-Gomez, who was killed after falling into an industrial dryer. The company eventually reached a settlement with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for $3 million to resolve six federal safety violations. ABC News' Brian Ross highlighted the case for a story titled "Death on the Job in America." Watch it below:

From a Hare press release:

"I call on Bobby Schilling to return the $5800 he took from Cintas executives who are seeking to punish me because I have publicly challenged their reckless disregard for employee safety,” Hare said. "How can he accept this Ohio company’s money? And how can he have any credibility on condemning special interest money from outside the district when he takes that very money from the worst of the worst?"
