Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley:
emailed Jim Perdue, promising him that as long as he was governor, he would never hold the company [Perdue Farms] liable for the pollution it caused to the Chesapeake Bay....
O'Malley's ties to the fracking industry can be traced to ... a "dark money" political organization he co-founded in 2011 to bring corporate money to the Democratic Party. Among ... big corporate funders O'Malley has been courting is the American Natural Gas Association.

The two children were 7 and 10 years old at the time the Hallowich family settled a nuisance case against driller Range Resources in August 2011. The parents, Chris and Stephanie, had been outspoken critics of fracking, saying the family became sick from the gas drilling activity surrounding their Washington County [Pa.] home.

Jim Perdue Endorses Jake Day?
Joe,
Just wanted to bring this to your attention; Jim Perdue has sort of endorsed Jake Day in an article in delmarvanow.com
Interesting tidbit for those in the know, Jake's father Randall(Randy) is a Senior Executive for Perdue. This is nothing more than a good ol' boy endorsement, aka "Keep business as usual". Keep fighting the good fight Mr. Albero!

I think if the most successful businessman in the area endorses someone, I'd listen to him.
ReplyDeleteFirst of natural gas fracking is completly safe... josh fox the idiot behind the fracking movie has been proven to be complete lier. Nothing in his movie was truthful or real. The family in the movie who refused to believe the epa water test now live on property in new york that has a natural gas well.......there is no proof natural gas fracking is harmful.....farmers in pa have had wells on their property for years..

ReplyDeleteI'd ask why and when the standard BS was offered investigate why.
Maybe Jim Perdue should say why he has supported Anthony Brown, when he whines about the Maryland government that under Brown would continue to drive business and jobs elsewhere and drive farmers, who can't locate to another state, further into the ground.
Love him or hate him. Jake day is the best Salisbury has offered in quite a while. Get use to it.
ReplyDeleteJim knows better then supporting Anthony Brown....Maybe he doesn't...Those big guys learn how to kiss and make up after

Big business is in cahoots with the democrats. Both want all trade, commerce and services controlled by a handful of large businesses. This gives both consumers and potential employees less choices. It's the socialist/communist plan. Control every aspect of people's lives.
All this whining about regulations is complete and utter BS. It's part of the plan. What big companies want is the smaller businesses run out. This means less competition from every angle including what they have to pay employees.
That is why they would support Brown and the other democrats. The democrats do the dirty business for them.
You people can't see the forest through the trees.
They've created this illusion of being "offended" by government regulations, when it's them who want the regulations. This forces closure of the small struggling businesses and prevents new competition from opening up.
6:05 PM you must be from the gas company's PR dept?
