Who Does Mike Beebe Really Represent? Part 2...
Well, let us continue our look into the cozy relationships with special interest groups that he regulates…..
During his campaign for Attorney General – the public’s defense attorney for gas, utility, and telecommunications rate increase – Mike Beebe, again, did not shy from being paid by those he represents the consumer against.
Let’s take a look:
From January 2002 to October 2002, Mike Beebe accepted the following:
Oil and Gas Industry: $10,750
Other Electric Utilities: $1,250
Entergy: $2,165
Alltel: $4,000
Other Telecommunications: $600
Total: $19,765
It looks as if these entities wanted to be sure and get their retainer in early for Mr. Beebe.
Do the people of Arkansas know that the lawyer that their tax dollars are being used to pay, is also being paid by the industries he supposedly regulates?
It will be interesting to see how these figures grow with the next gubernatorial campaign finance report. More of The Truth and The Evidence will be surfacing soon….
