Also lobbied for Big Tobacco?
And the Minnesota North Stars...
Renewable energy=bad
Cancer sticks=good
No wonder why MaryAnn Campo says $300,000 a year for 100 years is not a lot of money.
She lobbied for Big Tobacco and a NHL team that up and left us (Norm Green still sucks).
Nice find Muse!

The devil always lurks in the details. You, Muse, and Tommy are seeing the executive summary, and looking for opposition detail. If it is an iceberg you believe threat free, shouldn't the pack of you also be doing a bit of looking below the water line? Just a thought. Only that. There have been superficially charming people I've met, but manipulative when you get to know them. Just a thought. Part of information is origin and communication. Who's beating the loudest drum, off blog?
Avidor's a skeptic and I would not dismiss that easily, although he and I have had differences of opinion. Who are the proponents, and how are they getting their position out, using which advocates?
Just a thought.
Between the dotted lines, a quote from the Campo website, Teammates page:
