Mike Beebe Caught Lying? You Decide...
Was Beebe caught in a flat-out lie in Saturday’s front page ADG story? He is quoted as saying that he hasn't taken a contribution from Entergy since he took $100 back in 1998. This is absolutely untrue, as even his own campaign finance reports show.
From the ADG story: "He [Beebe] said the last donation he received from Entergy was $100 in 1998, when Beebe was a state senator. According to filings made by Beebe’s campaign with the Arkansas secretary of state, the attorney general took money from several contributors who work for companies regulated by the commission. That includes a $500 donation by Paul Means Jr. of Little Rock, who is described in Beebe’s filings as a lobbyist for Entergy." The article did not even mention the thousands received from relatives of Tom Kennedy (Entergy lobbyist). In fact, one of the donations ($1,000) was from Kristin Kennedy (wife of Tom Kennedy). Mike, you need to start telling The Truth.
