The Virginia General Assembly approved an amendment to the upcoming budget essentially thwarting an effort by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg that funded the salary of an environmental lawyer placed in the state’s attorney general’s office.
According to one of the documents detailing the effort by the former New York City mayor, the attorney’s primary purpose was to advance “progressive clean energy, climate change, and environmental legal positions.”
The inner workings of Bloomberg’s multi-state scheme came to light last August when Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, published a lengthy exposé showing similar attorneys placed in other AG offices around the country were not paid with state funds, but by a specially created “State Impacts” center at the New York University School of Law funded by Bloomberg.
Not sure I recognize this country anymore.
FTA: “We applaud this vote while wondering, what’s wrong with the rest of these legislatures?”
One or more accepting Bloomberg attorneys are: Oregon, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, Washington state, and the District of Columbia.
‘Nuff said.
Yea but the governor signed an executive order creating a council on environmental justice.
A George Soros junior who buys the government influence he wants and in most cases gets it. They’ll keep chipping away as long as our “representatives” are for sale.
” …………. showing similar attorneys placed in other AG offices around the country were not paid with state funds ………”
No big deal, The Mob does this sort of thing all the time and has for more than a century.
Only difference is that Bloomberg’s attorneys weren’t on the State payroll as well as his, saving the taxpayers some money.

It’s winter. The Liberty Tree is barren. It’ll bloom in… oh? Never mind.
Government officials, accepting millions of dollars, to have other people command the government’s guns, off the books. That’s not a problem. That’s not treason. That’s a matter.
Do democraps ever smile except for the Cheshire cat shit eating grin that they all seem to have? Doomberg looks like he’s perpetually pissed off at everybody and everything that disagrees with him.
