Manchin quietly pressed Biden administration to fund group led by campaign treasurer

WaEx:
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) quietly urged the Biden administration to grant taxpayer dollars to a climate coalition that includes a group whose head is the campaign treasurer for the West Virginia Democrat, records show.

Manchin signaled support in an October 2021 letter to the Commerce Department’s assistant secretary for economic development, Alejandra Castillo, for the West Virginia-based Appalachian Climate Technology Now coalition to receive $100 million through President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill signed in March of that year. Jack Rossi, the head of an economic development group in the coalition called the Charleston Area Alliance, also happens to be the treasurer for Manchin’s Senate campaign, according to campaign finance disclosures.

  2. Toss this grifter out, West Virginia. He thinks you’re stupid and if you send him back to the senate again, I’m going to start questioning your mental capacity as well.

  3. If you see Manchin and don’t see a beadie-eyed swindler, you need your eyes checked.

    He’s been a polecat for decades and his daughter
    should be in jail for life for that EpiPen grand larceny she perped.
