Johnson: Jon Bruning's defense of fired Berkshire-Hathaway exec David Sokol 'completely inappropriate'

Nebraska Watchdog has an interesting post about the Nelson campaign's reaction to Attorney General Jon Bruning's kneejerk defense of his Senate campaign benefactor David Sokol against a backdrop of a continuing SEC investigation and the recent distance that Berkshire-Hathaway has put between itself and Sokol.
     Nelson's campaign chief Paul Johnson deplored Bruning's "pay to play" attitude toward public service.
     Of course, Aksarbent readers have their own reasons to harbor disdain toward an opportunistic homophobe like Bruning.


Meanwhile, Jane Kleeb at Bold Nebraska is quite suspicious of the recent letter of support of the Transcanada pipeline written by the Merrick County Supervisors. Her advice?

Email or Call the Merrick County Board of Supervisors, 308-946-2881, izatat@cablene.com and rweller@gpcom.net (see *note)

Ask the board to show the meeting minutes of all TransCanada discussions and to disclose the money/contracts the staff, board members and their relatives have taken from TransCanada, including funds for "community" projects.  Also ask the board to NOT sign the letter of support for the pipeline. *note: the only two emails of the Board of Supervisors listed on the Merrick County website are the two above.  Those are for DL (Shorty) Hahn and Rex Weller.

Write a Letter to the Editor of the local papers in Merrick County which include the Republican Nonpareil, Grand Island Independent, Nance County Journal and Columbus Telegram.
