Fascinating interview exposing fraud in community politics
Submitted by nancydrew on Mon, 2007-08-27 20:38.Fascinating interview with the author of CAPE WIND. It's the story of a proposed wind farm off Cape Cod which was squashed by the political finesse of wealthy local waterfront homeowners (Kennedy family, Mellon family, etc.), using tactics including the organization of concerned community groups (individuals hired to pose as concerned citizens to oppose the eco-friendly energy source). Mitt Romney comes off particularly poorly in this scenario. Americans should become aware of this corrupt element prevalent in today's political system.
