An Old Story
While I was away there was an item in Politico referring to Democratic Congressman Norm Dicks. It’s an old story, June 25, but if you’re interested it’s worth a glance.
The story deals with Dicks and three other members of Congress who have ties with PMA, a former lobbying group.

Steven — Have you, has anyone, written about the apparent conflict of interest in having Norm’s son running the Puget Sound
Partnership? I don’t know the man. He may be the single most qualified person for the job currently living on planet Earth. But it does smell a little fishy that he would be tapped to head an agency that wants a $300 million per year budget in his daddy’s home state.
I can see why the Governor would want to appoint him… it’s a nice little gesture in return for old Norm’s “co-operation” past, present or future. It would smell if he got the job in any state, but here it’s even more odoriferous. Am I the only one downwind?
