Good day all. California governor, Jerry Brown, has been known as “Governor Moonbeam” for decades. He is your typical Progressive Liberal Democrat. Basically a big government totalitarian fascist who likes to make other people live the way he thinks they should, while he lives high on the hog.
Typical of the California Moonbats, Brown loves to push “Alternative Energy” ideas while doing everything he can to destroy actual, proven energy systems. Well, it looks like that Governor Moonbeam is just another Progressive Liberal hypocrite. There are reports that Brown and other Moonbats have been taking illegal campaign donations from energy companies. Here are some of the details from Fox News:
California’s campaign finance watchdog agency is looking into allegations the state’s Democratic Party funneled millions of dollars from oil and energy companies to high-profile politicians, including Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2014 reelection campaign.
“It was a laundry machine for dirty energy contributions to the Brown administration, a slush fund of sorts, hiding big oil, utility and other dirty energy dollars in close proximity to officials’ actions,” said Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog, the group that brought the complaint.
It’s always so entertaining when the various Progressives start in on each other on who is more politically correct pure.
A Consumer Watchdog report “Brown’s Dirty Hands” highlighted transactions between 2011 and 2014 that seem to show contributions from Chevron, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Occidental Petroleum Corp. were given to the state’s Democratic Party around the time the party gave Brown’s campaign donations of similar amounts.
“Twenty-six energy companies with business before the state greased the skids via $9.85 million in political donations to Brown’s gubernatorial campaigns, ballot initiatives, favorite causes … and the California Democratic Party since Brown’s run for office in 2010,” the report alleged.
Galena West, chief of enforcement for the Fair Political Practices Commission, confirmed Friday it is now investigating the California Democratic Party “for alleged violation of the Political Reform Act’s campaign reporting provisions resulting from information contained in your sworn complaint.”
Well, it looks like Governor Moonbeam is in BIG trouble now.
However, West said the agency would not be investigating others named in the complaint, which would include Brown, at this time.
A spokesman for the governor told The San Diego Union-Tribune, “The decision not to broaden the investigation speaks for itself.”
Yeah, it does. Just like the Hillary Clinton investigation, the fix is in for the “Special people”.
Consumer Watchdog, in its report, also questioned the timing of company contributions and alleged they were made the same time the governor was discussing California’s climate change initiatives.
“The timing on donations suggests that the Brown Administration used the Democratic Party as a pass-through to Brown committees as reward for legislative or regulatory action on behalf of these companies,” the report said. “For example, at the end of December 2013, three months after weakened fracking legislation was chaptered, Chevron donated $350,000 to the Democratic Party. One week later, the party donated $300,000 to Brown for Governor 2014, while Chevron donated $54,400 to the campaign that day—the maximum amount allowed.”
And what did their donations actually buy?
A few weeks later, Brown came out against the oil severance tax that Consumer Watchdog argues would have produced billions for the state.
“Chevron had long opposed the tax,” the report said.
Honestly, (Yes I know, not the word you normally use when discussing politicians in general and Democrats in particular), I don’t know why anyone is surprised over this. The Democrats have been the party of the wealthy elite for decades. They simply refuse to believe that the laws also apply to them.
Governor Moonbeam is just the latest member of the Progressive Liberal Democrat Elite to get caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. At least he’s learned from his friends, The Clintons on how to shut down an investigation.
Thatisall
