  Rauschenbach was indicted on ethics violations charges in 1993.  According to investigators, Rauschenbach engaged in an influence peddling scheme in 1991 by pushing a bank-stock fund for the state of Massachusetts.  Rauschenbach was alleged to have accepted $17,500 over seven months in 1991 from Carmen W. Elio of Fanueil Hall Capital Group, who had business ties with the fund's director.  A Suffolk County grand jury indicted both Rauschenbach and Elio for violating the conflict of interest law and conspiracy.  Rauschenbach was acquitted of all charges on October 3, 1995.
  Rauschenbach's state government positions included: Undersecretary of Administration and Finance (focusing on Healthcare Policy of the Commonwealth), Senior Policy Advisor on Energy to the Governor (Gov. Cellucci and Gov. Swift), and Senior Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor (Gov. Swift).
