If John Hammer says he's a conservative, why hasn't he written about this yet?

"Pillsbury is a full-service law firm with a keen industry focus on the energy and natural resources, financial services, real estate and construction, and technology sectors.

If Pillsbury represents

the energy and natural resources industries,

does that mean they support Fracking and strip mining

and foriegn energy companies like from Qatar Petroleum?

If Pillsbury represents

the energy and natural resources industries,

does that mean they support less regulation for thier clients,

which may not be in the best interests of many human beings

living in the City of Greensboro?

How could Pillsbury Law and Greensboro's local press respond to accusations of news censorship about the Craig Saperstein, Robbie Perkins lobbying scandal?

"Those who do not accept the fundamental principles of state propaganda,
are simply excluded from the debate.
(or if noticed, dismissed as "emotional," "irresponsible," etc…)"

Noam Chomsky

Why hasn't the Greensboro News & Record reported on the Craig Saperstein, Pillsbury Law lobbyist campaign contribution story?

Are the less informed easier to persuade than the more?

If white northern college students enlisted for voter registration drives,

only after murders of black civil rights volunteers

went relatively unreported by law enforcement and news organizations

is the Greensboro News & Record doing the same thing

only different?

What is Crony Capitalism in Greensboro and Guilford County?

Crony capitalism is a pejorative term

describing an allegedly capitalist economyin which success in business

depends on close relationships between businesspeople

and government officials.

Like the relationship with Greensboro's new lobbyist and Robbie Perkins?

Is this the same Pillsbury that now represents the City of Greensboro?

"Pillsbury is a full-service law firm with a keen industry focus on the energy and natural resources, financial services, real estate and construction, and technology sectors.

If Pillsbury represents

Is this who Greensboro's City Council hired as a lobbyist?

"Pillsbury lawyers have influenced and shaped not just the law,
but the geopolitical landscape,
helping to set policy on everything from the environment
to securities reform and international banking regulations.

Among the firm's illustrious alumni are two Secretaries of State,
two Secretaries of War, an Assistant Secretary of Defense,
a Supreme Court Justice, and a Nobel Laureate.

Today, nearly 100 Pillsbury lawyers have held top positions
at various government and regulatory agencies,
including the DOJ, EPA, FAA, FERC, IRS, NOAA, SEC and USPTO,
as well as serving in Congress
and as senior White House staff and advisors."

Does Greensboro's new lobbyist specialize in eliminating American Jobs for thier corporate clients?

On Robbie's Lobbyist vote

Self-dealing is a form of conflict of interest.

...“a situation where one takes an action in an official capacity

which involves dealing with oneself in a private capacity

and which confers a benefit on oneself."
