Rent-Seeking CEO Gives Donation to Politician Days Before Favorable Bill Introduced - 'No Coincidence' Says Senator
Freudian slip? Ed Bott notes some accidental truth-telling when Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) was asked about a donation from the CEO of Accuweather (The Senator from AccuWeather Speaks Up):
Two days before Sen. Rick Santorum introduced a bill that critics say would restrict the National Weather Service, his political action committee received a $2,000 donation from the chief executive of AccuWeather Inc., a leading provider of weather data.
Asked about the connection, the Senator replied: "I don't think there's any coincidence between the two."
