"The billionaire brothers whose political action committee gave Gov. Scott Walker $43,000 and helped fund a multi-million dollar attack ad campaign against his opponent during the 2010 gubernatorial election have quietly opened a lobbying office in Madison just off the Capitol Square. . . The expanded lobbying effort by the Koch brothers in Wisconsin raises red flags in particular because of a little discussed provision in Walker's repair bill that would allow Koch Industries and other private companies to purchase state-owned power plants in no-bid contracts."

"Energy client is looking for experienced Plant Managers for multiple power plants located in Wisconsin. You need 15+ years of operations & maintenance experience in a power plant environment. You should have at least 5 years of experience managing operations & maintenance teams in an operational power plant. The ideal candidate has experience in a coal fired power plant. Salary is commensurate with experience."
Coincidence? Maybe. But I think not.
This scenario is precisely why it is so dangerous for corporations to be considered "people", and be allowed to literally buy Governors and other "elected" officials.

I wonder if they are going to hire Harry Reid's lobbyist sons!
And if you are going to give info on who gave what in this past election, please provide who gave what to Walker's opponent. Just to show you are not biased.

I'd like to see that, too. Please post that, Jill61.

Open you own thread about such. This thread is about the Koch brothers' financial contribution to Walker. Walker trying to pass a "no bid" selling of public utility companies in the budget bill. And the Koch bothers advertising for "managers of utilities."
Even a third grader can connect these dots!
And this happens all within Walker's first 60 days in office! Holy Crap! Who else or what else is Walker going to sell WI out to?
The billionaire brothers whose political action committee gave Gov. Scott Walker $43,000
Hmmm... let's take a look at what the public sector unions gave his Dem opponent: $90,540
...with the Education Industry giving another$179,968
...and civil servants and public officials giving another$231,610
Now what about the trade unions? How much did they give Walker's Dem opponent? $312,959
The unions seem to be trying to buy themselves better wages and benefits, using taxpayers' money.
If I were in WI, I'd buy the Koch Bros a drink. If they had anything to do with the collapse of the union, they deserve a metal...!
I see you were too good to listen to your teachers. Not much has changed for you, has it?

Jill this is explaining plenty why the consideration of global warming discussions got deliberately derailed with 5,000 lbs of gibberish. They can't win an argument on merits they'll baffle people with BS.
I truly believe the case for coal Manchin advocates is right and should win on merits of argument, but he doesn't have to utter another word about it and will likely see legislation that far exceeds his fair proposals managing toxic output responsibly. Koch bros bought the law for themselves before he ever arrived. The next agenda for Koch will be the dissolution of the EPA. Is it official now that unmitigated avarice is in command of America? Can we stop talking around this 500lb gorilla?
