US Justice Dept. looking at Wind Power Bribery and Corruption...

BY JOHN KRAFT & KIRK ALLEN

ON October 1, 2015

ECWd -
A few months ago, we reported on what we called bribing public officials, with promises of financial "donations" should they sign agreements that basically forced them and future board members into speaking in favor of Wind Farms and never speaking or acting against them.
Our previous hard-hitting article entitled "Mt. Pulaski CUSD-23 School Board selling its soul to Meridien and Relight Wind Farms" drew large reader volume and exposed for the first time in Illinois the fact that Wind Companies were using a bribery tactic to force supporting testimony in front of unwary Zoning Boards across this state. This was under the guise of a "Project Support Agreement".
We called it bribery at the time, and still believe it to be bribery.
We call on concerned citizens to demand their local prosecutors to investigate the "support agreements" and prosecute the offenders if they believe it to be bribery. Is this really any different than offering millions of dollars in "donations" for approval of any other zoning question?
