[Wash Free Bacon] Top advisers to the billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer helped run a green group, financed in part by Steyer himself, that is at the center of a corruption scandal that could force forced the Democratic governor of Oregon to resign.
An executive at one of Steyer’s nonprofit groups and a political vendor who has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the hedge fund manager’s political operations helped run the group, which is accused of influencing state energy policy through undisclosed payments to Oregon's first lady.
The controversy centers on Gov. John Kitzhabet's main squeeze fiance, Cylvia Hayes. She was paid $118,000 by the Clean Economy Development Center (CEDC) to advocate for environmentalist policies in Oregon.
No doubt Mr. Steyer didn't see anything wrong with this sort of "business", since it's what Democrats do on a routine basis... |
