I know Scott Walker. Excellent man. Seems to me you have a problem?

Scrub this: For the Koch brothers and their kind, less democracy is better. They fund campaigns with millions of dollars in checks that have helped elect the likes of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Ohio Governor John Kasich. And ALEC has made it clear, through its ambitious “Public Safety and Elections Task Force,” that while it wants to dismantle any barriers to corporate cash and billionaire bucks’ influencing elections, it wants very much to erect barriers to the primary tool that Americans who are not CEOs have to influence the politics and the government of the nation: voting.

Kind of like the alter ego theory? Thanks for the correction Dan!

Ok Dan. If that’s what it was I agree 100%. But do we really know if that’s what happened? I think it is entirely possible that this could have been just a mistake. But I could be wrong. Still, on a scale of 1-10 as far as importance I would give this a 4 1/2, even if it was “scrubbing”. It was just a press release, not exactly the official record.

It’s called scrubbing – essentially a whitewash designed to deceive. Changing details in a public document after it was published, but leaving the original date on it is an attempt tp hide something from the public. I see that as a problem. Glad it was caught this time, but it likely happens all the time and goes unnoticed.

Sorry Joe, this is a story about someone changing a press release to show a revision to the story that is essentually true. NRG energy did aquire the solar ranch project from SunPower. It doesn’t change anything about the loan, in fact it has nothing to do with the loan. It’s a press release that was updated incorrectly, and it was the press that said “hey, wait a second”, and after that it was changed back to the original. I really don’t see a problem here other than the person, or people that made the change is a/are moron(s). This story has no bearing on the loan, so it has nothing to do with the billions of dollars.
Now if the changes were made and nobody said anything about it, and let it stand, then that would be a story about collusion from the press. But this was slapped down by the press so in my opinion there is no story here that has anything to do with the loans, or the failed green energy “industry”.

When it is not “Transparent” and you are dealing with billions, yes, it is news Neil.

I don’t think I care that much about this one. It wasn’t illegal, just incorrect prceedure. It was probably a case where someone told an underling, or an intern to go and do it, and they had no idea they were supposed to make a statement about the correction, so they just changed it. I don’t see it as a big deal. So there is a govt contractor that is incompetent. Is that news?
