| Frank Kelley was all in favor of item pricing, until someone gave him a lot of money to be against item pricing. Then, he was against item pricing. The other day, the Freep published an Op-Ed piece from Bill Schuette that was a thinly veiled call to the teabaggers to whip themselves into a tri-corner hatted dudgeon. That was despite the fact that one of the most controversial claims it made turned out to not only be false, but a known falsehood going back an entire year. Then, Bill Schuette's mouthpiece told the Freep that it wasn't a lie based on something Jim DeMint wrote that actually said that Bill Schuette's claim was false, and that itself was for other reasons factually inaccurate. Today, we pair the two and ask ourselves ... what's happened to standards at the Detroit's Free Press' editorial page? It was a privilege for me to serve as Michigan's attorney general for 37 years. During that period of service to the people of Michigan, I gained in-depth experience in the fields of constitutional law, consumer protection and environmental protection. I also was able to acquire knowledge in the field of regulatory law governing public utilities and other corporations, public and private.
At the end, there are two taglines. Usually one suffices. Frank Kelley served as Michigan Attorney General from 1961 to 1998 and is a cofounder of the Lansing-based advocacy firm Kelley Cawthorne. Editor's Note: DTE Energy, which opposes the 25 x 25 renewable energy ballot question, is a client of Kelley Cawthorne.
The reason there are two, I'm told, is because the Freep went to press without bothering to tell anyone that Frank Kelley and one of the companies most adamantly opposed to the 25 by 25 ballot question have a money relationship that might have prompted him to, again, sell out his tenure as attorney general. |
