KFI: California Assembly members who were swing votes for the cap-and-trade gas tax were among the top recipients of donations from oil companies, an analysis has found.
Oil companies in the Western States Petroleum Association and other industry groups gave more than $240,000 to Assembly members in the first half of this year as they debated whether or not to extend cap-and-trade.
The Republicans who voted for the legislation have a phony argument saying that if they didn’t pass the extension, then CARB would make things much worse for the state.
Jerry Brown and lawmakers met with people in the oil industry behind closed doors, working out deals and concessions.
The Associated Press reports that of the 9 Assembly members who got more than $10,000 from oil interests, 6 of them are moderate Democrats or Republicans who were considered swing votes.
All political whores who should brought up on corruption charges, tried, found guilty, and hanged.
Save time and money — go straight to the hanging!
California is like Europe. I’ll never visit there again.
Bribery by any other name is still bribery.
