Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 23, 2008 1:01 pm) LA TIMES, 2005 - At least 17 senators and 11 members of the House have children, spouses or other close relatives who lobby or work as consultants, most in Washington, according to lobbyist reports, financial-disclosure forms and other state and federal records. Many are paid by clients who count on the related lawmaker for support. But Harry Reid is in a class by himself. One of his sons and his son-in-law lobby in Washington for companies, trade groups and municipalities seeking Reid's help in the Senate. A second son has lobbied in Nevada for some of those same interests, and a third has represented a couple of them as a litigator. In the last four years alone, their firms have collected more than $2 million in lobbying fees from special interests that were represented by the kids and helped by the senator in Washington. So pervasive are the ties among Reid, members of his family and Nevada's leading industries and institutions that it's difficult to find a significant field in which such a relationship does not exist. |

was the bumper sticker I saw with a UEW/CWA line on the sticker. Their plant is still closing here in Moraine. It's a plant I would hope would be used by some auto manufacturer. It's relatively new. It's on rail lines and at the crossroads of America (I75-I70) for truck transportation. The only negative is there're a large contingent of union-thinking workers here. Just as Indiana and governor allowed Honda to draw a line around Anderson Indiana area because it has a lot of unemployed union workers, the same will happen/has happened throughout the midwest here and into Michigan. But that's okay because we all deserve to have our economies repressed because of past union worker mentality in this area. |
