David Koch: The Ultimate Climate Change Denier. I mean, why not? What’s one measly planet when you have a fossil fuel empire to–fuel?
White House Whines: Trump Got Played By NRA. Claims LaPierre ‘mischaracterized’ discussions with Trump. If there’s one thing this Administration understands, it’s mischaracterization. Ain’t that right, Mr. AG? (OK, kids, time for a pop culture quiz. Who originated the following?: “Of course I deploy deplore such tactics.”)
Rethug Lobbyist Recruiting Companies To Despoil The Amazon Rainforest. I guess this qualifies as a ‘dog bites man’ story. As to the fires’ origins, this is must-reading.
Murphy Vetoes Bill To Benefit Corrupt Politician. In this case, South Jersey political boss George Norcross. BTW, does this seem like it might have relevance to Delaware?:
In a January 2019 audit, the New Jersey comptroller’s office found that state oversight of the tax break programs was poor. The state Economic Development Authority, which approves the tax incentives, was unable to verify that companies were fulfilling promises to create new jobs and make investments in new factories and workspaces, according to the report.
Pretty much the only difference in Delaware is that our equivalent to the comptroller won’t go near auditing our giveaways to corporate interests. A blatant scandal hiding in plain sight.
Another Rethug Pedophile Heads For Exits. I guess that ‘Well, gee, sure I did it, but it was 25 years ago’ just wasn’t good enough.
Why Does Del-Tech Need An Athletics Department? It’s a two-year school that primarily prepares students with job-specific skills. Why are tax dollars being wasted on athletic teams? Geez, maybe some of the money being wasted there could have gone to, you know, building renovations.
